  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • Date checks on foods, re-stocking of shelves, supervising other staff, working on tills, keeping in line with health and safety regulations, dealing with unexpected issues within daily routines, locking and securing the building at the end of the day.

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

    • Have learnt more about the background of the company and more in-depth with regards how the company works by doing the apprenticeship and at work I’m learning new skills most shifts

    8/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • It’s given me a lot more insight about the company I work for and the geographical area of the shoppers

    9/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Sometimes seems a little disorganised due to the impact that covid has had on meeting face to face

    7/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Sometimes feel like it could be more but it’s ok

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

    • She’s helpful when I need it and returns any messages I have promptly

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

    • So far I’ve not seen a big impact between the course and my role. Im having to do a duty manager lvl apprenticeship (lvl 2) when I have already been in this position at work beforehand and would have rather started at lvl 3
