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

Looking after clients on a day to day basis, meeting their demands and needs and placing their Aviation Insurance for them by reaching out to Insurers for the coverage. I also manage projects within the team for different platforms we place business on.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I would say there is a solid structure to the programme in that I am allocated a tutor to reach out to and they are aware of when I need to meet deadlines but ensuring this aligns with my workload outside of the apprenticeship.

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

I have always received the support needed from my employer, being given time off each week for set studying time and ensuring they do not overload me with work whilst considering the apprenticeship work I also have ongoing. Being there for any questions or concerns I may have had.

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

The Growth Company were particularly supportive towards the end of my timeline when I was reaching gateway in that [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] my tutor would set up weekly check ins and constantly keep in communication to ensure I was on track but also ask if I needed any further resources.

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

This has enabled me to learn different skills and knowledge in areas I may not have accessed should I not have gone through the qualification, I have learnt how to manage my time effectively and use initiative in situations where I thought I may not meet deadlines on work.

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.)

We have different platforms such as the Young Persons Network, each month a colleague is matched with another in WTW for a coffee randomiser allowing me to connect with those outside of my team. A lot of professional networking events as well including socials and CII planned events.
