  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • My training provider was also a great sense of guidance within my apprenticeship. They would check my work and keep me on track with what I was doing. If i ever got stuck or felt like i didn't understand something in my workbook, they was always there for support.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • My workbooks and the training i have received helps me to perform better in my job role. This is because the skills and the knowledge i learned can be used on the shop floor. I would learn new communication skills and my work books taught me new things such as how to deal with different types of customers. It gave me a better insight to broaden my knowledge, which i necessarily wouldn't have learnt in a normal job role.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • We sometimes get together as a team for special occasions. At Christmas we go out for a meal; and sometimes for people birthdays we get together to do something aswell. Before I have met up with team members outside of work to go to the cinema and have a meal.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Superdrug?
