  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The structure is good for the most part, with monthly meetings amongst the apprentices. This feels just enough. The only thing that has felt slightly mis-structured is the turn over in managers running the scheme but this has not hindered my progress.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • I see my talent coach once a month which is good. The learning for my coursework was online via a video platform which I didn't find as engaging and found it harder to connect to the theory side, but it didn't feel too hard to get to grips with.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My team understand that I need to balance my responsibilities between work and my apprenticeship and this makes me feel very supported. My manager [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] is excellent, friendly and backs me in everything that I do. The HR team are also good for when I require help.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Great for living costs - not so good for travel costs, but it is still a very competitive apprenticeship salary (and I do live out of London).
