  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • A lot of support was received by Babington when I was working towards my qualifications, I had regular sessions with who was very supportive and always helped me with my progression along the way. Support and guidance was really helpful when completing the work provided to me, and if I had any issues I know that would help with this.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I believe that this has helped me with my customer service as prior to the apprenticeship I didn't have much experience with speaking on the phone and answering emails professionally. Doing the apprenticeship along side my job role has helped me a lot to build rapport with customers on a day to day basis.
