I found it very difficult on the begining and did not enjoy it really. I felt very confused about what and how to do it. But my coach was very helpfull and supportive. We could contact her anytime for more clarification and help. Also we was working as a team with other apprenticees and helping each other what we found very helpful.

I would say it was very well organised. My coach was handing me out in every quarter the work to be completed and always booked ahead the next meeting. She has explained what was expected from me to be completed by the next meeting. I managed to finish my workbooks and personal logs in timely manner and also done preparation for English and Maths tests.

When we have started Apprenticeship course, our employer (managers) wasn't aware how important it is and how much work and time is required to complete the tasks and learning. They were not very supportive, as our department was extremely busy in the same time. But our coach after our feedback explained to our managers the importance of the course and after that everything was more organised and they were more supportive too.

Our training provider was brilliant, extremly supportive. We could contact her anytime via email or phone call and she would give us the right level of support. I really believe I achieved the level of qualification which was Distinctive, on the end of the course especially thanks to all the support, my training provider has given.

I am not really sure yet, but it is a big achievement for myself which I am very proud of. I have already received a lot of recognition across the group for my qualification. It made me also realise that I am capable of more than I thought and I really can push myself out of my comfort zone to achieve more.

We use to organise a lot of charities, coffee mornings, cake sales, sport activities like riding a stationary bike or taking a zumba course. Competitions, we had lately competition in eating donuts hanging on strings, on Christmas there was a competition in which team would wrap items the fastest and the most neat.
