I learned to have more confidence and have learnt a lot about dentistry.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

I feel that it is okay but the course has changed structure slightly throughout my apprenticeship. Communication and how the course is delivered could be better/more engaging.

My employers particularly my manager supports my apprenticeship well.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I have not used much support features so can not fully comment on this but some information could have been delivered better.

I enjoy learning and it is nice that what I am learning practically gets reinforced through the coursework.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

My company has a tiktok account but I do not want to get involved with this.
