Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5
I assist the lead Quantity Surveyors by updating documents, checking their work for errors and generally keeping on top of things.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
I really enjoy the day-to-day life in the office because of the satisfaction I get from completing a task. Also, I get on with my colleagues well, so makes going into work a lot easier.
It is a very good opportunity to get a degree, without all the debt.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
I have learned loads of new skills, such as microsoft, powerporject, costx etc. I have also massively developed on my existing skills, such as organisation, mathematics, professional writing etc.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5
Extremely well organised, there is continuous APR meetings with my apprenticeship coach and my line manager, university each Monday (my 20% allocated) and a clear insight into what I will be doing in the future.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
All the support I could ask for, all my colleagues are always happy to answer any queries.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5
Lots of support, the only reason this is 4 stars not 5 is due to the fact I had some issues with Linkedin learning, which proved to be a bit of a struggle.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5
100%, I learn things in my lectures and seminars which come into my day-to-day life in work. For example, Building technology helps me understand the construction technology.

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
Yes, I play 5 a side on a Tuesday which is set up through work, and have played in various footballing events in work. I have also been to various networking events with my colleagues.
