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

I started my apprenticeship a year ago and since doing my apprenticeship I have moved jobs and my assessor was amazing at making sure I was okay and always checking in on me. Due to being dyslexic, I do need extra support at times, which they accommodated me with, and always checked on me to see how I was doing with all my assessment work! Overall, I’ve had great experience doing my apprenticeship with Lifetime.
