1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

For the first year I was learning everything Aldi, how to become the best store assistant you can be, whilst also learning little bits of management. In the second year I am shadowing managers and learning how to be the best Deputy store manager possible.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The communication between my trainers and store leaders isn’t as good as I thought it would be. However I always make sure my manager knows what is going on when I know what’s happening.

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

I do receive support form my employer, however I feel like they should provide more support for the apprenticeship. For example taking extra tile to really go through things with them and using off prod hours to explain things thoroughly. Also explains things once then expects youu to know what you’re doing.

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

I receive lots of support from my trainer and they are fully supportive of everything I do and help me in any way possible. If I have any questions they will elanswer them fully. Most trainers on this course are exceptionally good.
