Apprentice LMS Administrator Review

My role involves maintaining and managing the Learning Management system for the company. Along with implementing additional features into the system that can enable the company to conduct training and performance reviews more effectively. This enabling myself to use and test the Project Management course knowledge I am doing with my apprenticeship.

I have learnt lots of skills in the year I have been on this course. Such as, Time Management, working effectively with others and having a better understanding of managing my work load from Costain well as my coursework. I have also learnt a lot of knowledge with regards to Learning systems and what options and use they have for a company no matter what size.

I am enjoying the programme as everyone is aware of what I am doing and when which enables the balance to be kept. I also enjoy the course, with Project Management there isn't a restriction on what sector you wish to pursue either construction or IT just a couple of what you can go into.

I would say that the structure to the programme is very well structured as it is clear as to what would need to be done when and to what level. I definitely see a clear structure to mine as my line manager and L&D Advisor making sure that I know what's going on with my apprenticeship.

I receive lots of support from my line manager and our L&D Advisor as they both give advice and help me do any additional courses that would help with my apprenticeship. I receive help from anyone in the business as well as they all are very accommodating if I was wanting assistance.

With regards the support I get a lot of support from everyone. I have done additional courses that will help further progress my apprenticeship course work and my professional career. My manager helps find these courses that we run and this helps connect with other people in the business who are happy to help me further.

The training provider in which I am conducting my apprenticeship qualification is very helpful as they take the time and effort to point out what areas that I falling behind in as well as take the time to have a one to one session to go through these areas to improve my confidence and knowledge.

There are lots of events that you as an apprentice can get involved with. I have attended career events to further help Costain with branching out. I have attended apprenticeship workshops where you can meet other apprentices in the business which is really helpful in networking and arranging a site visit to one of many projects.

Yes

There is a lot of opportunities that you can branch out to within the company once you have finished your apprenticeship. There is lots of support available from everyone in the company and you won't be left in the dark when you are struggling with either in your work or your course.

I would advice anyone to know more of all the things that Costain does and make sure that they don't shy away from any opportunity that rises either a course or online training, as all of them will be the best for you and your future professional career either in Costain or elsewhere.
