  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It is very well organized i have regular meetings to help discus my online work and training is both kept up to date and that i understand what i am doing properly. alongside this my general manager often checks up on how well i am progressing and keeps in touch with the other people involved with my learning so everyone is in the loop about what i need to be doing or have done.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • It helps me learn new knowledge that i may not necessarily have the time or resources to learn during working. having a qualification means i can progress withing the industry and shows i have enough knowledge to safely complete the jobs i need to do. It also helps to solidify anything i may have learned during the day as it gives me the opportunity to revise and reflect.

  • 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.)
  • Not that i am currently aware. there is a social media page for all the employees to be a part of so if anything were to be organized everyone would be able to get all the information needed. it also makes it easier for someone to organize doing an extracurricular activity if they wanted to.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Mitchells & Butlers to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • They are very helpful and helped me feel confident to complete this apprenticeship. all the learning and help set in place means if i find it difficult i have many different people or ways to get it sorted quickly and efficiently. They don't over complicate any of the tools or information given to you so you wont feel overwhelmed by any of the activities you need to do.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Mitchells & Butlers?
  • Just try to be yourself when applying and don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have but also make sure you have to motivation to do the learning outside of your shifts you will be given. Although its not too difficult that doesn't mean it inst hard work you need to put the time and effort into completing this course and so far it has already been very rewarding.
