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

As a senior solution advisor, I act as a trusted advisor to SAP's customers. This involves supporting our sales team with generating new and repeat business and helping our customers to be successful through the adoption of SAP solutions.

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

Through the governments apprenticeship levy scheme, I completed a Level 4 apprenticeship in Project Management. Additionally, I am now completing a Level 7 post-graduate diploma in Sales Leadership. These programmes have vastly developed my skills in managing projects and leading sales teams.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Completing an apprenticeship alongside full-time work has its challenges, however, it is incredibly rewarding since it offers the opportunity to actively apply the learnings directly to your role. Without a doubt, this is the best way to learn and develop your skills and benefit most from the course.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Both the L4 and L7 programmes have been highly structured so as an apprentice, the expectations are clear and I know what I have to do to be successful. This also makes it easier to manage balancing my day job with the demands of completing an apprenticeship.
