I love working through the exersizes on the course, but i just wish that i had more time. Always feels rushed when always at work.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is very well organised, it flows well from one topic to the next.

10/10

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

There is not really any, you are just expected to get on with it and still work. We are all so busy. Personally I would just rather have a day at home each week to do my apprenticeship as then it is undisturbed.

3/10

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

The trainers try so hard to encourage you to get on with the work, they help you and always show a light at the end of the tunnel when you feel so far behind.

9/10

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

When I have completed my apprenticeship, I know it will help me feel more confident. I just wish that I had more quality time rather than being behind due to workload. They do tell us at the start not to fall behind so totally my fault for that.

8/10

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.)

No basically.

9a. Would you recommend Whitbread to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Whitbread is a good solid place to work, all that they ask is that you are committed to believing in everyday people, work to be the best that you can and respect all around you. They offer carreer prospects to all, you just need to love people and believe in brand which whitbread has created.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Whitbread?

Don't be a time waster to this amaizing company, if you are not willing to be committed, turn up for your shifts and give our guests the best service that we can, then it is not the job for you.
