4/5
Originally i was going from department to department to learn about logistics as a whole to give me an understanding of what happens each day
after about 18 months i found myself in projects where ive been ever since - i do testing for new projects - implement small and large changes into the operation - research new ways we can become more efficient as a site - work alongside customer and IT and any other external companies we use

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Really good programme - learnt a lot about logistics in an educational sense i could use whilst at work - made a lot of memories too with loads of new people who are also doing same course.
Being around people who do the same it grows you not just as a person but as someone who can learn off others and bring it into your own workplace.
many benefits to the course itself too

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
overall its pretty good - always some communication issues between sheffield hallam, ourselves and also GXO.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
The support you get is really top - really helpful and understanding how tough it can be to manage a full degree, work and personal life all at once and give you the time you need to complete your assignments and any additional help you need.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
You get as much support as needed - times where i was struggling with someone regarding university and they allow you to take the time needed to complete all tasks
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
For me personally when completing assignments there was a lot of different models to be used which really help when it comes to completing projects
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
I was lucky enough to go to schools to talk to students about my apprenticeship
