Poorly. The scheme started late. Our entire cohort, had all of our apprenticeship oyster cards cancelled because of a failure of the training provided passing on our details to TFL

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

The largest "Support" we received was the mandated 20% off the job learning. This does help studying for exams easy. Although the business is annoyed at this due to apprentices having so much time off.

2/10

None really

1/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

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.)

Yes but. Getting funding requires a team to allocate some of there budget for the activity. Which depending on what team you are in can be difficult E.g 5 Aside football.

3/10
