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

No.

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy parts of it, some parts are irrelevant and dated. Everything is via Zoom which can make it tedious and boring.

6/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It’s a really organised programme, just not structured or relevant.

5/10

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

A lot of support.

10/10

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

A lot of support.

10/10

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

It doesn’t.

3/10

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.)

N/A.

4/10

9a. Would you recommend Marston's to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It’s a good company to work for, even more now with my apprenticeship they provide me the time to get it done alongside my job role. I just wish there was a budget for apprenticeships, so we didn’t hit labour lines when doing apprenticeship bits, but not actually working.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Marston's?

Do it.
