Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

My weekly catch up meetings are a perfect structure to keep me on track with college/work and I always know id get support with anything I'm dealing with.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive excellent support from my manager and cant really fault it, not once have i felt un- supported.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
I don't feel like my training provider offers me much support as I struggle to even get a reply from them at times, I was switched assessors without being told, 6 months into my apprenticeship and i've seen my assessor a total of 3 times when I should have monthly meetings. definitely feel like there should be more support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
The subjects taught don't really match up with my day to day work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
ADI events that I've attended and weekly team building football exercise.
