Apprentice Review

As an apprentice i cover customer service, learning health and safety in the workplace and the legal requirements. I get sent modules to complete in store to help learn these things and every 3 months have a review and either move onto a new module or improve on the current module.

I have a food safety level 2 certificate. I'am also Learning a lot more stuff around the legal issues that are required in retail.

It has given a fantastic career opportunity and a purpose, something i feel i needed greatly. The whole team and business is very supportive towards me and encourages me at all times.

Very. The work that has gone into the training of myself is clear to see. From my store manager to the CEO of the business. Everybody wants me to pass this course and progress with the Co-op.

From day 1 it has been a very professionally ran course, a lot of people, putting in a lot of hours to get it right. I have a number of support contacts that i can rely on. Modules are sent once every 2 or 3 months and have 10 hours paid time a week to complete this.

I see my 'coach' once every 2 months and have a remote phone call once a month. Any problems or inquires i have, he has always supported me with.

An excellent standard of support from the Co-op. Everybody has made me feel very important to the business and kept me informed with any changes.

A very fair wage that i can't complain about at all.

Yes

The Co-op is an every improving company to work for, they look after their staff really well. The pay is great and is a very secure company. Nobody comes across as 'bigger' than anybody and everybody is treated fairly.

To get on the apprenticeship course!
