The company culture is friendly, collegues are approachable and the team work together to share workload and deadline pressures.

Manager appreciates the work I do, she often praises my work and will ensure I receive recognition for work I have completed for others on her behalf.

Training and support has been consistant; the team are always willing to help. Delegation and responsibility have gradually increased.

Mentor has not given me the same information as other apprentices within my company. Initial meet with co-ordinator was not helpful as the information was incorrect.
