  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It is well structured but it would be better if for example, there was a piece of work I needed for evidence that they put me with anyone who is doing it rather than staying with the same 2 people who may not do that job for a while

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I receive good support but could be better if I had regular 1 to 1’s about my progress and what type of jobs my portfolio still lacks so that it can be arranged that I spend time with people who are doing the maintenance on these
