1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I answer the phone to book and arrange viewings. I update the window cards, submit properties to social media and some general admin.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt how to the process of selling a property. The skills involved within the process are what I am currently learning. So far I have learnt what documents are required and the things which are required when selling a property.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I especially enjoy catching up with my colleagues who are working towards the same qualification. This is because we are able to share our own individual experiences of working within our office.

6/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is well organised, however when I first started the job as an apprentice I had very little knowledge. I feel that it would have been better if we had learnt more before actually joining the job.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

8/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

we get feedback for all of our assignments, however, the feedback is often given last minute not really giving sufficient time to make any new drafts before the next assignments are given. This is more annoying when you have waited a week or so for feedback.

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

The training is helpful but it is very slow and dragged out. This means some of the modules my colleagues think I have covered, we have not and possibly haven't done for several months after joining.

7/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

yes but not very often
