  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I'd like to say very well structured, however, due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic it has been a real struggle. Our tutor has ensured we catch up via Microsoft teams, so I suppose have that when we aren't able to work from the office.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • A fair amount. Most of the time we're allocated time during our days to complete any outstanding apprenticeship work, but depending on how the day has progressed, sometimes we can be left with a lot to deal with. I find its all part of the package!

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • A lot if required! I tend to prefer working by myself and ask only if I absolutely need to have some support. If I do need it, it is widely available, with it only taking a day or two maximum for a response - usually with a teams call.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I feel that is might not necessarily help me perform better as I have some form of background with this industry via family members, but it does allow me to refine those small imperfections on parts I may not have fully understood in previous years
