I enjoy the whole programme as everything that I do helps me to achieve my goal of working in an industry that I love and fulfilling a role which I enjoy.

The training plan is set of well in advance so you are aware of the upcoming events and steps which are crucial in allowing you to complete the programme as effectively and efficiently as possible.

I receive all the support that I require from my employer. If I have any problems, I know who to speak to and how I can contact them.

My placement skills coaches provide a high level of support. My college training provider provides a substantial level of support, but they could provide more support and guidance to people who do not understand the work to the same level.

I believe that the qualification I am working towards will be highly valuable when I am performing my role because I will apply the knowledge I have gained to fulfil my role to the best of my abilities.

There are countless different extra-curricular activities and events to get involved with in different areas which will appeal to a large number of people.

The knowledge and experience I have gained has been far better than any other company could provide. There are great facilities available and my fellow apprentices are amazing people to work with.
