8/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Developed existing skills by going more in depth through the use of my apprenticeship.

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I wish we had some more hands on lessons, I have struggled with what has tm be done. But I don't know how much of that is due to the pandemic.

5/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I don't find the online portal(s) very user friendly. I think they could be simpler in order to make them more accessible and easier to navigate.

5/10

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

My line manager has been fantastic, but the HM has shown little interest.

5/10

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

Again, I have struggled with the motivation of completely independent learning, but I am unsure of how independent it would ordinarily be.

4/10

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

I hope to be able to put my developed skills into practice soon, but unfortunately even when I am working, there aren't as many opportunities too put my developed skills into practice due to the regulations.

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 at present, but there aren't as many as I would like usually.

Yes

9b. Why?

They are generally a very supportive company, wanting to improve their teams and own methods.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Whitbread?
