To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have really enjoyed my position so far, I'm very grateful for the opportunity I have been given to expand my knowledge and become a supervisor.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Having not worked in the civils industry before I started my position with very little knowledge, I have been given the opportunity to develop my knowledge through experience, training and my level 4 course.
I have been also been able to hone my management and organisational skills through experience managing a team.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

There is very little structure to my own personal apprenticeship. There is structure to the early careers programme though.

4/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I have found that my qualification has focused more on construction sites, however some of the knowledge I have learnt has been useful to civils.
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
There are some vents that you are able to take place in but no regular activities to take part in with co-workers.
