Both

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

6/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Internally with the training department, not very organised with arranging our placements/reviews. With the College, again not always entirely organised due to this being a new apprenticeship.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

What I have learnt from the business admin qualification hasn't necessarily enhanced my skills within the workplace as the departments I work in are technical based and don't require administration more business skills. Project management learning has helped me perform better in my role.

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.)

Yes lots. I have been on various committees for Flying Start Challenge, Cool Aeronautics, AWASA etc. In March 2020 I had the opportunity to visit the HMS Prince of Wales.
