  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes I have learnt about decision gates in a project and the lifecycle of a project. Although I understood real life project work I can now relate this to project academia and understand the deeper meaning behind each element of the project e.g. decision logging

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • When I ask for help I receive it and when I highlight a requirement to work on my apprenticeship it is accepted. However I am not actively asked for updates on my apprenticeship and they don't review my learning so it is independent study in the main

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Lots, they are always an email away and are very supportive with how to improve and what to do next. I think more updates would be good but then again the independence is good

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

  • 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.)

  • 9a. Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because you are developed and trained. You have regular meetings with your leaders and are given a high level of responsibility. It is difficult at first but once you understand your role you can feel accountable and driven


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
  • Expect to be overwhelmed and work at a very high speed. Aldi teams are efficient but work to a very high standard so you will be part of a very hard working team. Working in driven teams you will have the opportunity to learn from everyone around you
