My role involves completing take-offs, sending out enquiries, responding to queries, placing orders and taking minutes for progress meetings. One of my main roles is to go out on site and record site photos for progress.

5/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Bowmer and Kirkland is spot on - Northumbria University fails to communicate effectively with both apprentices and their employer.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Gives extra detail to back on site knowledge.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
