It was certainly different as I completed its mostly during lockdown so it was quite a challenge to get my evidence done while the restaurant was open periodically.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

During a normal situation I feel it would be very structured. As I had visits to my restaurant scheduled every month from my trainer at lifetime. As I completed the course remotely due to the pandemic those were remote. I feel that it was as structured as it could be.

9/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

If I asked any questions i would get the answers I needed but I had to ensure I had time put aside and organised to complete my practical assignments and was selfish with this time.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

My training provider was very good. At times it felt overwhelming but [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] was always very supportive and never made me feel as though how I was feeling was invalid. She would always clear up anything I was unsure of and was extremely helpful.

During the pandemic there wasn’t really any. But definitely before we had at least 2 team nights a year and once and a while we done a tuc shop type thing for the staff.
