I have learnt to work on tableau and alteryx. These are softwares used in data analysis. I also run finance meetings and attending presentation skills courses has helped me with this.

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

A lot of support. They ensure that I have a good work/ apprenticeship balance, allow me to spend extra time on the apprenticeship if I need it and I have 2 1-1's a week with my manager to discuss anything I need any support with.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I receive a lot of support. I meet with my learning and development coach once a month, sometimes more if I need it. The trainers are happy to go over anything you don't understand before an exam even once the classroom session has been completed.
