  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • G.L.P Training have made my apprenticeship incredibly enjoyable. After a rocky start with my original trainer, i was given a new one and instantly began to enjoy my course more. I was unsure what to expect from a business administration apprenticeship, however I've learned many valuable skills, both relating to my apprenticeship and other tasks that i have to carry out on a day-to-day basis, which i will be able to apply in other areas.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My programme is fairly well structured, although I found that I was able to complete the textbooks and work books fairly quickly. Although this is a reflection on the learning materials themselves rather than GLP Training and my trainer. I have meeting scheduled with my trainer regularly and I can always contact her with any questions, no matter how small. There are a lot of extra resources that GLP have provided on their learning hub and I have found these very informative and helpful in relation to the course that I am doing.

There were a few issues with my original trainer but these were very quickly resolved and I felt fully supported whenever I had meetings regarding my apprenticeship. I know that I can go to them for advice and support and i'll always be met with a friendly face and reassurance.

They have an amazing learning hub where all of the resources for my course are easy to access, as well as extra e-learning files and online resources which relate to my course.
