I really enjoy the programme. I have enjoyed seeing the different range of areas you work on. Some tasks you can relate to quite easily with my job, others not so much, this is what makes it interesting. I enjoy the independency of some tasks, and the group discussions too.

The programme is well structured, regular weekly calls on the topic you are working on, followed by calls with the mentor also. I like how you can email the tutor or mentor with any queries or questions and they will come back very quickly to help with any issues. This helps build confidence on the topic.

My employer has been very helpful. Due to the 20% off the job requirement which is set at the beginning of the course, this means i get all thursdays off to focus on my apprenticeship. This was tied in with the calls on thursday mornings with my tutor. If i needed to change any dates for exams etc then i could do.

I receive plenty of support. regular weekly calls on the topic you are working on, followed by calls with the mentor also.

It has helped me progress. I was a purchase ledger clerk when i started the qualification, and have since become a senior, and now a supervisor. It has helped me learn new skills, grow confidence in myself to complete tasks. It has helped me gain an understanding of other roles which i wouldnt normally see until i did my course.

Yes

It is a company which focusses on improving staff members, they give staff members regular opportunities to apply for courses which they feel will benefit not only the company but also the individual too. It has been flexible to me to allow me to complete exams and revision when i have needed too.
