  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • In my current job role, it requires me to mostly serve and help customers. i work on the checkouts at frontend and so i have to always be as friendly and considerate as possible as it can change a customers day quite easily depending on how i choose to act to serve them.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • i learned new skills both through starting this job as well as starting and completing my apprenticeship. i gained more customer service knowledge as well as added confidence. the apprenticeship course taught me how to do things that i wouldn't have necessarily learend doing the job role i do, but it was extra knowledge and helps me work better

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • i enjoyed the programme fairly well as i enjoy having tasks to complete for deadlines whilst adding knowledge to my every day tasks. i feel as though my programme did teach me a lot of important facts as well relating to health and safety and such, which i dont think i would have gotten to learn as quickly

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • i found it very well constructed as we made a chart and labelled them colour coordinated in a way where i knew which tasks i was completing for when, so i could then organise myself in a manner which helped keep me satisfied with my learning and helped to guide me through the course

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • i recieve necessary support from my employer, they are very supportive when i need them to be and they try to understand every situation to the best of their ability. i find that they are well educated and people as well, rather than some employers who seem to forget we are all human

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • i received some time whilst working in which i was allowed to participate in my work to achieving the apprenticeship but i feel as though i was distracted by customers and had to go onto a till more than i would have liked as it made it harder for me to focus on the work

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