  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Since doing this programme I have been improving on skills that I already got and also making a new skills in which I didn't have which is great. I have learnt new skills within the bar and cellar I already had skills which are improving daily.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The structure off the programme is really good it has kept me going and has also kept really interested within the course. I have difficulties sometimes off keeping on track with my work and it has kept me going as its something different everytime and not all the same and my trainer knows I get distracted easy to make sure that I am in a quiet area as much as possible.

  • Since I done my course my manager hasn't really helped me with any off it unless i have asked a question once or twice. I try and get him involved but he don't tend to have the time for it. After my trainer goes I always tell him how I am doing.

  • Before I started my apprenticeship I was not too confident I was confident behind the bar but I wasnt confident on the floor. Since then I have improved in all different areas , I go on the floor alot more and also deal alot more with the customers. My manager is saying I am improving more and more all the time.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Greene King to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Its a great company to work for and if you get the right boss it runs smooth. There is so many different opportunities within the company starting with just a bar staff all the way up to ops manager. They also got the apprenticeship scheme which also great and has a lot off opportunities within it.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Greene King?
  • I would just tell them to make sure they know what job there getting into as working behind a bar can be hard work at times. When working make sure that you are having fun behind the bar. I love working behind a bar and making all the customer's happy and that what I would tell people the best way off making the work place happy is being happy yourself.
