  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I believe the training we are doing is very very helpful for role we are doing because it is giving us a greater understanding of the companies needs. Not all it is necessary for are day to day role but gives an insist into other roles needs. Lots of the theories we put into practise everyday.

  • 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.)
  • Due to Covid this has been none this available to me. From what I have gathered from talking to people once Covid 19 is gone they will start out of work time events. There is normally a Christmas party staff can attend. There is clubs and stuff you can join but dont know to much about.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Premier Foods to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would recommend this course to anyone. This job gives all different types of skills. Premier foods is a very good company that looks after there employees. You get 3 recognized qualifications at the end of course that will allow you push from different roles and gives a greater knowledge of the manufacturing industry.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Premier Foods?
  • I would say must importantly be yourself. As within the company they are looking for people who will work hard but aren't going to be shy to chip in . The assessment days be talkative and make they know you care if you get or you don't. It will lead to better oppuntities
