This involves manning the phones, taking inbound calls and dealing with any issues our customer may have, and also being more proactive and making outbound calls to our customers.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I believe that considering this was the first apprentice course that techdata has run, it has been very well organised.

  • 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.)
  • There is lots to do at work that is not work. Firstly, there is a rec room which has a fusball table and a pool table which is really good for breaks and lunch to wind down and relax a little. There is also clubs which you can sign up for which have extra opportunities for other activities outside of work
