3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The program doesn't really suit my expectations. i was expecting more customer service side of things where this role is more behind the scenes and occasionally working with customers face to face

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

so far things are great. my training provider has been in contact constantly and has been very helpful with rearranging things due to ill health

10/10

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

I believe that i could receive more support from my team and management but most days i am in the office not sure on what to do and when training is being provided calls come in the way of importance and i feel left to the side with no help.

only apply if you have the qualifications or if going for an apprenticeship make sure you know what the job role will be as some job headings cover several job roles.
