  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The Apprenticeship program was very well structured and I had a positive on boarding experience. My primary assessor kept me up to date with work that needed to be completed and helped with the timescales. My training was mainly independent and required me to research and provide evidence to complete modules. I had regular meetings with my assessors and have since completed my apprenticeship.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • I received support from my training provider, but it was also my responsibility to chase and make sure that work i had completed was handed in to the assessors by deadline dates. my tutor/advisor was helpful and detailed work that i needed to complete, so i had some guide to complete work. But It is also very independent and you have to provide the evidence to complete the apprenticeship.
