  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • My role as an apprentice is to gain as much academic knowledge and experience as I can during the apprenticeship. We are involved in different activities each day, each as a chance to learn.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I've learnt several new skills while doing the apprenticeship, while also reinforcing many of the skills I already have.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I am happy with how the work system is put in place, and how the roadmap for the apprenticeship is going.

    8/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

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

    • The qualification gives you plenty of hands on experience, which is well needed, while also supplying a great bit of knowledge to what you are doing.

    8/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • There are company based events that apprentices can apply to, but on a apprenticeship basis only, there aren't any extra activities, only self induced activities, like self study session for example.
