Apprentice Business Administrator Review

I am a business administrator which means i monitor emails that come in to the company and answer phone calls from internal and external sources. I also monitor many spreadsheets making sure these are updated each month while also completing reports when requested. the bottom line is we try and make the role for practitioners as easy as possible

While working at LAT i have developed a lot of new skills and are still developing to this day. as of right now i am working on my time management but this has developed a lot since i first started. i have learnt many IT skills while here and how to work under pressure and on a time limit

I enjoy what im doing and i get along well with my team and other staff. i think at LAT we are given much more responsibility than most apprentices would have which is a good thing and i think what LAT aims to provide is a great cause which gives me motivation.

It has been a little fractured due to changing assessors however i think the transition was as smooth as possible considering the circumstances. Overall i feel that it runs well however i can be a challenge to find time to complete Level 3 work but this is heavily encouraged by management

I feel like the support is great and we have regular catch ups regarding the course and i know my manager is very heavily involved. I always know i can talk to her about any problems i am having with the course and i have done so on multiple occasions

It has been harder because of COVID however i haven't ever felt that i didn't receive enough support. i have always been told that if i ever need to ask a question i can just ring. the attitude towards me has always been understanding and i never feel like i shouldn't ask a question

i would say that through the knowledge units i have learned more about the company i work for but for me i dont think most of the units i have completed so far have improved my ability to do the role. most of the time i am reflecting back on old scenarios

At the moment due to the current situation we haven't been able to partake in anything as a team but hopefully this will change going forward. i think all of the team would be up for social activities as we all get along very well. we have talked about doing the local 10k run

Yes

Working for a company that is trying to change something for the better is a very good feeling. on top of that i feel like i have been given so many opportunities already from training to experiences that are going to be valuable in the future and will help me in future careers

The work we do is very important and can change lives so make sure before you apply that you research exactly what it is LAT do and make sure that you will take this seriously. everybody at LAT is passionate about what they do and thats reflected on the work we do and the results we achieve
