Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
day to day this role involves monitoring and managing the communication tool used on the projects i am working on i.e CEMAR. Studying construction drawings to understand the project, but also ensure all works are being followed to the design.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
A very good programme that offers a university degree whilst being ingrained into the working environment with other professionals, providing you experience of working on the job.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes I have learnt many new skills whilst working in this role, mainly how to communicate more professionally verbally and through email.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
This programme is very well structured and the weekly day for learning allows for you to take in and consolidate all information.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
From my line manager I receive an abundance of support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The bi-monthly meeting is always useful to check-in and understand what is coming up.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Although I feel the qualification will be effective in my role, as it takes 5 years to complete if you have the right team on the right project that is more than enough time to fully understand the ups/downs of the role and what is required on a day-to-day basis
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
as I live so far from other apprentices the opportunities are far less. however, this is a personal thing and I do understand those in bigger cities are able to network far more.
