I thoroughly enjoy the work I do, I feel like a develop and learn every single day. My team are incredible, they are very supportive and are always willing to assist me and explain things that I may not understand. They have given me lots of responsibility which has really helped with my confidence.

I have recently been nominated for an internal recognition award. I received congratulations from my team and the wider team. It is a lovely feeling knowing that your colleagues are recognising the work you are doing. It makes me want to work even harder. I have also be finalised for a wider AA award for Apprentice of the year. I am very proud to have even of been nominated let alone finalised. I feel extremely appreciated.

It is a very well structured programme. I feel as if I always no what I have done, what I am doing and what I will be doing. This is all monitored through my own portal as well as regular updates and discussions with my assessor. If I am struggling in a particular area my assessor makes me aware immediately and we sit and make a plan on how I can develop in this area.

My tutor is fantastic. I have a face to face meeting every month to discuss my progress, any issues I am having and coursework I can complete, despite the fact that they are based 5 hours away. I have a remote call every week to again discuss how I am progressing, outstanding work I may have and any issues. I am constantly set work and receiving constructive feedback.

I receive a tremendous amount of support from my employer. They are very involved in my apprenticeship coursework and the progress I am making on the programme, anything that I made need to help me complete work that is given to me, whether this is time out of my daily responsibilities or sitting with specific teams that may develop my understanding in certain areas. This also goes for the wider team, they are very patient and understanding if I make an error and genuinely want me to do well.

Due to my recent promotion my salary has helped me meet me costs a little more. It is liveable.
