  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have learnt both new skills and also developed existing skills. I have learned to be more confident when communicating to others. I have also learned about managing projects, about key stakeholders, about budget management and also more about different technology we use. I still have some learning to do but so far I think my confidence has started to improve

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy my programme. It's great being able to interact with others who are completing the same apprenticeship so that we can share our knowledge and ideas. I am learning a lot about different things that help me at work and also it has helped my confidence to grow.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I think that the programme has been structured well and organised quite well. Sometimes there can be a little bit of confusion when sessions or trainers change but this is understandable. I like the group webinars as well as the 121's but I do think some face to face would be good instead of all on online.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I receive a lot of support from my employer. They always allow me to have my 20% off the job time to attend my teaching sessions but also complete my work. They understand the programme so understand how to help me in my role and expose me to the elements I need.
