Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work in a dual-capacity role that combines my Level 5 Coaching Apprenticeship with my responsibilities in Wellbeing and Inclusion. My role focuses on supporting individuals and teams to improve performance, enhance personal development, and create an inclusive, supportive working environment where everyone feels valued and able to thrive.
Through coaching, I help colleagues reflect on their goals, challenges, and behaviours, empowering them to find their own solutions. Alongside this, my wellbeing and inclusion work ensures that people feel psychologically safe, supported, and included regardless of their background or circumstances.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have generally enjoyed my Level 5 Coaching Apprenticeship, as it has helped me develop skills that I can apply in my wellbeing and inclusion role. It has been particularly useful in building my confidence in coaching and supporting others.
There have been some challenges along the way, particularly with my provider and tutor, which at times impacted my experience. However, now that these issues have been resolved, I feel more positive and focused.
As I am now heading into my EPA, I feel that the programme has been worthwhile overall and has supported both my personal and professional development.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have developed a range of new skills as well as strengthened existing ones. I have built my coaching skills, particularly in active listening, questioning, and structuring effective coaching conversations.
I have also developed greater self-awareness and improved my communication skills, which has supported me in my wellbeing and inclusion role. Overall, the programme has helped me feel more confident in supporting others and handling a variety of workplace situations.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The organisation and structure of the programme from my provider has at times been challenging, with some inconsistencies that have made it harder to stay on track.
However, the support from SUEZ has been very strong and has played a key role in enabling me to succeed. The guidance, flexibility, and encouragement I’ve received through work have helped me manage the demands of the apprenticeship and continue progressing.
Overall, while the provider experience has been difficult at times, the support from my organisation has made a positive difference.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have received a high level of support from my employer throughout the programme. The support has been great, with regular encouragement, understanding, and flexibility to help me balance my role and apprenticeship.
This has made a big difference in enabling me to stay on track and succeed, particularly when facing challenges within the programme.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Support from my training provider has at times been quite difficult, and this is something that was raised and addressed with the supplier.
Since a change in tutor, the support has improved significantly and has been much more consistent and helpful. This has made a positive difference as I progress towards my qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Overall, I feel the qualification has helped me perform better in my role, particularly in developing my coaching skills such as active listening, questioning, and supporting others more effectively.
While there have been some challenges with the training provider, the learning itself has been valuable and relevant, especially in supporting my wellbeing and inclusion responsibilities.
As I move towards my EPA, I can see a clear improvement in my confidence and ability to apply these skills in practice.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes, I have taken the initiative to link up with other coaching professionals, which has been a great way to learn from others and share best practice.
I have also done a lot of independent reading and am always looking for new coaching knowledge and development opportunities. This has supported my growth alongside the apprenticeship and helped me continuously improve my skills.
