Company is really well structured, training is always planned to help develop employees, this is always booked in and made sure if you are online that you get the time off. Apprentice time is always valued and Sage always makes sure we get 2 hours per week to focus on our apprenticeship.

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

The qualification is based on things we do day to day, it also gives us a lot of insight about more of the processes that we follow and also puts the theory we learn into practice.

There are different company events hosted, sometimes through out the days there will be stalls up advising of different things. There is a gym in the building, in the summer there is also a social event that all employees are invited too.
