Apprentice Assessor / IQA / Bus Driver Review

My role consists of seeing apprentices through their apprenticeship supporting assisting observing and assessing with a variety of assessment methods to help cover criteria

I did a level 3 Team Leader apprenticeship with Learnmore because my company like to invest in its employees and upskill them so they can maximise their potential and I had a great coach who really helped me and supported me throughout my own apprenticeship

I really enjoyed the variety of workshops we had throughout the course such as Delivering Results, The Art of Communication, and my favourite was Developing a Great Passenger Experience. But there were many more. I enjoyed the discussions. The getting to know colleagues from different departments. All of us working towards the same goal.

The programme was well structured and organised with workshops and surgery days. There were plenty of provisions and support the coach who was always on hand to help with our needs. She always explained things in a way that were easy to understand and if we couldn’t attend a workshop for whatever reason always did a mop up course so we didn’t miss out on any course content.

I was glad that I was allowed my my employer to do the course and the year on the apprenticeship has been one of growth and stepping out of my comfort zone and persevering especially on day where I wanted to give up but I’m so proud of myself that I stuck with it and for my coach Kelly who please encouraged me to continue on with my journey to EPA.

I received the greatest support from Learnmore. is a great coach and was very hands one. Regularly conducted Progress Reviews. Checked on us to ensure we were on the right track. Gave me encouragement kindness support and guidance. I really appreciate the assistance and don’t know if I would have carried on if it wasn’t for her consistent belief in me.

I feel that I now know that I have what it takes to go on to more senior roles than I have now. This qualification shows me that just like others before me, I can definitely perform in management roles especially with the communication skills that I have gained and the leadership styles I’ve learnt about.

There have been recruitment days to get more staff on board and I still continue to help keep London moving myself so I can be at one with my apprentices on the level 2 apprenticeship and I have attendee award ceremonies and long service awards and graduation ceremonies over the years plus team building events with my apprenticeship team.

Yes

I have referred a few friends and family to Go-Ahead London because I love driving buses and I want everyone to experience the joy I feel when driving. Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life the saying goes.

Don’t ever give up If you see bus driving on your future don’t delay apply today and even if it doesn’t happen with Go-Ahead there are plenty of other companies out there and you could still come and work for Go-Ahead being tupe’d over with a route so whatever way it happens don’t ever give up and live your dreams. Believe in yourself and know you have what it takes.
