6/10

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

Putting out stock, facing up, till work, interacting with customers, cleaning the store at the end of the day, and early shifts to take in deliveries.

5/10

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

I've learnt a lot more about interacting with customers, building on my communication and customer service skills.

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the till work and most customer interaction, though I find the work very repetitive. My shifts also mean that I either go in very early or leave quite late, so I don't have a lot of time at home to do things like shower, or make dinner.

4/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It's a good set up, having 2 hours of online training a week that comes out of my working day.

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

I get a lot of support, there's always someone to ask questions to

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

She's always available to send a message, and I can rely on her to respond even if it takes an hour or so. Really nice person too!

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

It allows me to get a better insight into why we do things in the shop, such as why we move stock around, or how we can tell if we have pests around food items.

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.)

None so far, if there will be any at all
