7.3/10

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

the apprenticeship scheme is really good, the training I have received for java, excel and web development has been great so far. However the only disappointing factor is that I have been unassigned and bot been on a project yet after 3/4 months. This should change soon and has given me enough time to complete trainings and stay up to date with my coursework, but I would like a project soon.

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

the training is excellent for all three occasions so far the teaching has been excellent and I am pleased as I have past Java and Web development.
