  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aldi?

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Well, my store manager has never worked with apprentice didn't know where to start! I've changed learning providers a few times which is quite annoying where as I was very happy with the first learning provider, just not consistent and no communication! But the the learning providers have been totally great with making sure I pass and really see something for me
