  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme is split up in quarters, each a review of how you are getting on. again split into core work tasks e.g work assigned by manager and apprentice work tasks given by either BPP or Q&A. these work towards a project and presentation at the end of the year

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • You recive a great deal of support form the recruitment team (maria) with any issues you are having you can go and get help right away. the same goes for BPP, Ashleigh does a great job at replying to emails quickly and is always happy to help. Managers can be very busy as they are leading teams and plannijng inot the future so sometimes can be a lack of support, however keeping ontop of tasks will insure you have the correct support

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • As said in the last question between recruitment and BPP there is a great deal of support with the qualification, any help for any question you have will not be a problem. Remember to keep on top of work load so you dont fall behind. be honest and clear. and the support will help a great deal

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • For some parts i feel the qualification is outdated compared to the core work however, the skills you learn from the apprentice work are only going to benifit your core tasks - e.g a booklet on ICT skills. a great way to learn or develop your IT skills. wide range of progression
