  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • No very much, i did at first, it was only meant to be a year course which has been extended, most meetings are telephoned based, and I have been sent practice test papers, with the answers on the back, and have to answer and mark them myself, which isn't the best, I ve not seen my assessor much, due to several issues, but feels as though there is little commitment and I can't wait to finish.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Aldi?
  • I really enjoy my job! I have been there for 4 years now I started off on a apprenticeship which was year one, and now I should be on my degree year, but after the ongoing delays with the course, I can't wait to finish. I the fact that I am getting a qualification out of it is really good, but it has took a lot of effort from my side to chase things up.

  • Hardly any, she is lovely lady, but I tend to fo d that she repeats herself a lot, when I took my exam I rang her straight after and gave her my results, a couple of days later she asked me what my results were, I was then told not to rebook my exam till she had spoken To me, then to be asked why haven't rebooked exam, cancellation of appointments, most appointments are on the phone.
