5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I believe it could be well organised in how the training coursework is laid out, but overall i believe it is adequate for the apprenticeship i am in. There is a mentor support system that i can always use, when i need help with anything i am doing which is comforting to know.

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

I do struggle with my salary, as i commute to work and having to pay for fuel costs and car maintenance. Also, living costs in my home and house keeping can also be quite costly. As an apprentice i believe it would be nice if we could be given a little extra more in order to help pay bills and living, travel costs and daily essentials.

3/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

There are many opportunities i have been given outside of work to attend, to network and socialise with other people. Also, company events and CSR events we can do for charity. I believe this is great so we can help in the community and also network with people which may help our future career. We can also volunteer to help local schools with their future careers and what they would like to do.
