  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Provide food for tesco factory workers. Some day i would do long days which would involve breakfast at 9:30 and then lunch at 12:30 and then the final service at 5:30. Each service would be an hour and a half long. I would do ordering and additional services in between

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Learnt allot from the start. With the apprenticeship i learnt leadership styles and how to deal with each person differently depending on their personality and work style. Learnt different way of teaching and also lots of book work. overall the apprenticeship was brilliant in getting me where i wanted to be

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • Karen who was my assessor was brilliant she was so supportive when it came to the work and also helpful with personal issues that got in the way at times. There was allot of paper work and i wish there was more a little bit more practical side to it but overall it was okay

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It wasn't the best as the credentials got changed many times and this was stressful for myself as well as my assessor. She did all should could to help me pass and i ended up getting distinction overall. The final stage was well organised and went very smooth

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Received all the support i needed and they gave me time out from the kitchen to get the work done, they was good in understanding when stuff needed to be ordered in so i could show i could cook it in the style needed, so overall they was very good.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • She was brilliant, couldn't have asked for a better assessor, it was just frustrating that we dont get to see them after the course is done as we get a new final point assessor. He was also brilliant and always on time and very helpful when needed. So overall very good

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Its made me step up more and also have a better understanding of how the company works overall. So its given me the big picture of what goes on and i dont just feel like an employee i feel part of a team. Its helped me with confidence as well because i know allot more.

  • 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.)
  • None that i know of. I think the hospital i used to work at has a running club but with tesco theres not much in terms of social activities unfortunately. this is something that needed to be looked at and organised for the future as it would benefit allot of people

  • 9a. Would you recommend Elior to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • They have got me to level 3 and set me up to be able to go and work in any kitchen so i really cant complain. They have been supportive throughout and have been good to work for. For someone my age with ambition they can provide lots of qualifications to help you in your carer


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Elior?
  • Let them know your targets and that you're willing to learn if needed and you're happy to do whatever to help out. They are supportive and don't hold you back. Be honest and it will get you far. Be yourself and accept there will be very hard days ahead.
