5/5
Amazing experience
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
All good

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, time management and communication skills

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I would say it's average. I noticed content has been repeated multiple times, and apprentices has been told different things from different people/department. There's no unified source of credibility from an apprentice viewpoint.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Support is excellent.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Excellent service.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It's not entirely related to what I do at work, but it's good for the student experience
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 there are, but It's not something for me
