  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I'm really enjoying my apprenticeship so far, especially the social side of things. Surprisingly there's a lot of downtime at my level so lots of time to make friends at work.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I find the programme well structured although it is often down to the apprentice to organise study time and internal training, especially organising this around work. However, this is always improving and evolving.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • For each exam, you have some days off for college then one study day before the exam. This can be challenging but the lecturer is always available for questions in between college and exams.
