Stand-in Shift Supervisor Review

The programme was excellent for improving my coaching and leadership skills.

I enjoyed the programme very much. It would have been better had they given clearer expectations at the beginning of the programme. It wasn't until the third module that I fully understood and was confident with what I needed to do with the coursework. Also, had we understood from the start what was expected in the end-point assessment, I could have prepared for it on a module-by-module basis.

Not very well organised at all. It is generic and geared towards branches, whereas with central functions it needs to be more carefully tailored.

The support from my employer was excellent. My manager was available any time I needed guidance, and I was allotted plenty of time during my shift to complete my coursework.

The workshops were fantastic, and although my mentor was always available if I needed him, there were times that I felt at a bit of a loss as to what was expected of me.

The training provided for this qualification was invaluable for helping me to perform better in my current role. I learned so much more about the company structure and functions than I would have otherwise known had I not done the apprenticeship.

No - other than a get-together at Christmas.

Yes

I find that Travis Perkins is the first company I've worked for that seems to embody the publicised company values.

It's important to understand the TP Values - we have to be able to work independently, but with a wider understanding of the needs of the business and the team we're working with. If you aren't a team player, then Travis Perkins is not the place for you.
