Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Contract administration, Client meetings, Programme reviews, Site inspections, Change management, Coordination
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Gaining job experience based on site has been beneficial for completing my degree. 1 day per week is spent studying at university so there is a good balance of working and studying for my degree.

5/5
Developed critical thinking skills, communication and presentation skills, Organisation and time management

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Clearly structured into 4 day working weeks with 1 study day. Adhoc development and training sessions are held throughout
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Day to day support is good from the project team and managers I work with. Some aspects of the apprenticeship require self sufficiency.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Learning material is easily accessible and support is available when required. Slight lack of physical engagement.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Learning material and modules are mostly relevant and applicable to my day to day role. Mixture of work experience and theory learning is beneficial.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Many regional efforts for different sports activities and social events.
