  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • It is well organised, however, I feel like the Uni course structure could be better tailored to procurement. For example, we had a warehousing assignment 6 months in to our apprenticeship, which we have no knowledge about.

    • A lot of support, mentally, work-wise, and from an extra-curricular point of view too.

    10/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • A good amount of support, the materials we have to work towards our qualifications are helpful. But, I feel as though we could have more guidance from a 1-1 sense to help us in assignments etc.

    8/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
