Apprentice receptionist Review

Booking meeting rooms, ensuring the meeting rooms are set up. I interact with both internal and external people on a day to day basis. Internal communications is mainly about booking meeting rooms and external communications is when they visit and i offer refreshments. My individual responsibilities include recycling and fire safety.

I have developed new skills from working in a new environment and internal training courses are always available for me to learn new skills and build my confidence in these areas. In my role i have learnt how to communicate better with others and how a professional business works internally.

I enjoy working as a team and building on my communication skills. I enjoy my programme as i'm able to work closely with other aspects of the business including events, charity work and facilities. My role is varied so it allows me to gain experience in many different areas.

My programme is organised in providing me with the right support and training that i require. My meetings are useful and supportive. Although my apprentice programme was slow to begin and continues to move forward slowly, my tasks are given enough time to complete. I am given support in my studying and will help me if needed.

My manager provides me with support and feedback when required. My 1 to 1s help me to focus on my personal and work development and to realise how much I have achieved and what I still need to improve on. I receive guidance and support on any problems i have in or out of work.

Guidance and support is given to my by my training provider when needed. Although the giving of tasks and general communication is slow, my assessor provides me with the information i need to complete tasks. Extra support is offered to me and my tutor guides me through the process and explains what i need to do to pass.

My qualification is helped me to perform better in my role as I now have a better understanding of how a business works and the different compartments of it. The things i have learnt in my qualification have given me more knowledge and understanding of the business and my role in particular.
