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

They are very supportive, I have no problem in taking the 6 hours I need each week and they are happy for me to cover off other activities if I need to shadow / make contact with others in other work time. They also like to feed back what I'm learning about.

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

Lots, if ever I have a question, I know I can send the organisers/my coach a message and they reply very quickly. They provide monthly drop in sessions you can attend on the EPA and Learning Journal which are great, you can attend as many times as you like, as can your manager and different questions are always asked.

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

As mentioned above, I've not had any formal L&D training before I started this course so it has helped in all areas studied so far.

9/10

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.)

Aviva has a Learning Professions Network for all staff in the L&D function, keeping us all up to date on changes and developments within L&D, it includes a MS Teams / chat channel, they offer opportunities to get involved in working groups etc and celebrates individuals' successes including apprentices.

9a. Would you recommend Aviva to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Aviva is so supportive when it comes to time for your on personal and professional development - this is the 3rd "professional" qualification they have supported me with.

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

In relation to the apprenticeships, I would recommend individuals are prepared that it can take more than 6 hours a week to study to get the most of the course, and Aviva needs to communicate this.
