    8/10

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • My communication skills have developed as I have learnt that not everyone understands things straight away, so I have had to adapt to be able to explain and understand everyone.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I do enjoy the programme, however I feel like some of the assignments don’t actually relate to the job I do. Or that the assignments don’t help me be better at my job.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme is well structured but it’s not what I thought it would be. For explain, I thought I would have someone who came to teach me etc but it’s actually just a phone call every few weeks.

    4/10

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Not much, I’m not asked about my apprenticeship or given much time for it. Majority of my assignments are done in my own time.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I get the support I need, we have regular check ins, and he always gives me feedback on how I can improve.

    8/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I don’t feel that that the qualification helps me perform better in my role. I don’t feel that the assignments actually understand what it is that we do, for example how to handle certain situations.

    4/10

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • Not really, we do a charity activity once a year but other than that there isn’t much else to do.

    6/10

  • 9a. Would you recommend NatWest to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • As I explained I don’t feel that the programme helps me to be better at my job, although it is enjoyable


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NatWest?
  • Be sure to research into what the programme actually entails.
