5.2/10

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

My job role as a team leader is to lead the team, and ensure our shifts run as smoothly as possible. I’m there to support the team and our guests. As a team leader I make sure business and sales objectives are met.

7/10

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

I haven’t yet learned any new skills, however I have developed existing skills. I can now comfortably carry out business objectives with a more clear and precise attitude. Such as placing a beer order, always something I knew how to do, but now I’m more confident.

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I wouldn’t say I’m particularly enjoying the programme so far. Although my trainer is an amazing support, I find the programme to be a little dull. There’s no excitement or any sense of looking forward to the next set of work.

5/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is very organised, however the structure seems a little grey. There’s no face to face meetings, no kind of hands on development so far. Although the online work is okay, I expected a more physical approach.

5/10

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

There’s not a massive amount of support. Although my employer is helpful when I need sessions booked out of work, during work we have no guidance on our apprenticeship. There’s no time in work to do any apprenticeship tasks.

4/10

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

Andrew is a great support! He really tries to make the sessions as valuable as possible. I receive great help and feedback from [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].

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

So far I haven’t felt that this apprenticeship is helping me to perform better in my role, however it still is very early doors and hopefully in time I can correlate the two and create a connection to what I’m learning and what I do in work.

5/10

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.)

There are none.
