    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    10/10
  • 4. How valued do you feel by Escalla?

    • I wouldn't recommend the escalla course as I think the NPA is better, for this reason I had little to no support I had 4 different assors who were terrible and no support what so ever, one Assor had terrible English and I couldn't understand him. I finally got a good Assor [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], a year and a half into the course, and she was fantastic I couldn't have got through it without her, and then the company had to let her go, big mistake on escalla as she was superb!

    1/10
  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • My employer was extremely supportive!

    10/10
  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

    • I've had a big pay increase

    10/10
  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

    • Yes if I wanted to move on, which I don't.

    10/10
  • 9. Would you recommend Escalla to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • It took me a year and a half to get a decent Assor which made me a year and a half behind in my course, work was signed off by other assors and it wasn't quite right, Sue Pallan was an amazing Assor

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

    • If your Assor isn't helping, ask to swap for another until you get one which supports you
