3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I love it. I’m really happy in my job, the juice sessions are really well delivered and apprentify are very supportive.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well. I have all of my academy days in my calendar and the review calls with apprentify are set far in advance.

10/10

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

A fair amount. We’re in a busy period and we’re a new team so we want to impress but people have been taking advantage a bit but I have allies that can turn people away.

8/10

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

I have my academy days and then I get a day to wfh every two weeks to do assignments. I didn’t really get to study while at work I just learn as I go.

8/10

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

I always take things away from my Juice Academy sessions that I can implement in my job somehow.

10/10

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.)

Not really though I have put myself out there and gotten involved in the local community.

10/10

9a. Would you recommend The Juice Academy to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It’s just an amazing start into a creative career. They cover a lot of ground so while the course is varied you can easily choose to move into a specific specialism afterwards (if I don’t stay on in my workplace I’d quite like to be a copywriter).

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to The Juice Academy?

Get as much information about the employers you want to apply to as you can. Be careful with schools. They don’t have a lot of money so equipment isn’t always great and you’ll get dragged into school life and things that aren’t your remit.
