Apprentice Business Administrator Review

I am specifically part of the Training department meaning that I look after any courses, E-Learning or Instructor Led, that are done within the company. This includes:
- Scheduling and organising internal and external training session, workshops and onboarding programmes
- Coordinate logistics including lunch bookings, equipment and training materials
- Communicate training details to the employees, managers and trainers
- Maintaining accurate training records in the LMS database
- Track mandatory training requirements and ensure employees remain compliant
- Prepare regular training reports, dashboards and compliance summaries
- Support training during sessions including preparing an attendance list, handouts and evaluations.
- Manage training related invoices and purchase orders
- Liaise with external training providers and ensure service quality
- Respond to employee inquiries regarding training opportunities, schedules and policies

The programme I am part of is very well structured. It sets out all the key assignments/learning for each month with the help of a tutor that guides you every step of the way. Key points are set out within the PowerPoints that my tutor provides me with and goes through with me to ensure that I understand everything for that month. There is also a clear EPA set out and it is clearly explained at the start of the programme.

My employer is very caring and considerate about any needs that I have. We plan out my study days and she always checks in on me to ensure that I have enough time to study and that I am not overwhelmed at work. I was very new to the office/work environment towards the start and she ensured to check in with me everyday to see how I was doing and still does regular check ins.

I have a monthly meeting with my tutor where she explains the assignment/topic for that month. She always ensures that I am comfortable with everything that I need to do and makes sure to ask me if I have any questions. As well as this, she also makes sure I am aware of the coming months and what they can entail since I am coming close to thinking about my EPA.

My qualification teaches me all the different parts/methods of dealing with requests and jobs that my role entails. For example, it has educated me about all of the stakeholders that are connected to my role that I was not aware of previously as well as different methods of identifying them and methods of prioritising them.

Yes

This company has so many opportunities, everyone would be able to find a sector/department that would suit them. Everyone within the company is so incredibly kind, the atmosphere and is such a caring and lovely that it makes it a pleasure to come into work everyday.
