  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I really enjoy my programme, i have only just started but everything seems very professional and also well structured. I like how you can learn as you go and taking 20% out of your day for the apprenticehsip is really helpful and also makes things easier to get done as you have more time.

  • I am yet to meet with my training provider however have had emails confiriming my workbooks and also my reflective learning journey. They have provided me with a trainer who is now much more local to the area so it is easier for me to stay in touch with her.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I think its good how you gain a qualification out of the apprenticheip in finacial services as this looks amazing on your CV and also provides a lot more knowledge to the job as you are learning more about finacial services and what it involves. This is really helpful for me.
