  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I really enjoyed it, I feel like if I didn't have it I would not have found just having the job on its own really difficult. It gave me the confidence I needed to be where I am today. As well as meeting lots of different people from all over.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Really well, my assessor would set deadlines, with regular catch ups. I would know exactly where I am at every step and exactly what I needed to do. I had the best support, regardless of how many others she had to look after I felt like I was only one with how supportive she was. Never felt rushed, like she really invested her time in me.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • The support was amazing and still is. From within my team and higher up, constantly checking in on me. Celebrating my success- was recognized for all 4 awards at the apprentice awards ceremony. We would have apprentice days, to catch up and see how we are getting on. As well as with my assesor.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Loads of support, as previously mentioned [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] was amazing. To say she had lots of apprentices she was consistent with everyone. Always sparing time for me and helping me wherever she can. She supported me not only with my work but also personally. Which I could not thank her enough for.

  • There are lots of training days we an attend, for example I was invited to a 3rd party supplier day it was going to be a lunch at a restaurant whilst discussing the 3rd party and what they do. We also had apprentice days like this. There are also things such as educationals.
