  • Can be structured better, its hard to get accountability for the work you have done as u get overlooked, especially towards the higher levels up in the company, however i tend to ignore that and keep working to show how i can be trusted with bigger responsibilities.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Every week I go to uni, with meetings with my uni mentor every three month, i would say there's not really any point of these as nothing usual comes out of them, however it is a good method of keeping organised in terms of the evidence writing for the apprenticeship.
