Business Administration Apprentice Review

- Supporting Business Development Team - Stakeholder interaction - Event planning - Social media - Project Management

I started out not knowing how to use a printer or any microsoft office packages. I was able to learn from experienced individuals and gain a fantastic bank of knowledge and experience throughout my time as an apprentice

It was great and was well suited for the job role.

It was structured very well, I had a detailed training plan which told me what areas I would be studying throughout the programme. I also had input into this training plan and could swap the subjects round if I needed to know something earlier that was relevant to my work

My employer was highly supportive and provided me with plenty of opportunities to grow my skills, knowledge and behaviour. My employer also encouraged me to say yes to opportunities that I was nervous about and would have originally turned down due to low confidence. This helped build my confidence.

I received regular visits from my training provider. I also received helpful feedback on my assignments and they were always very quick in responding when I had queries or questions about my assignments.

The qualification had a huge impact on my career as it helped me learn the basics of business. It helped me expand my knowledge in all areas such as stakeholders, project management, record and documents production, event planning etc.

My employer offers a staff social group that organises staff events throughout the year. There are also forums and groups that I can join such as women's/men's network, LGBT forum etc. We also have multiple staff development days throughout the year.

Yes

It is a fantastic place to work, the staff are lovely and always willing to help.

Don't be nervous for the interview, just be yourself. Do plenty of research on the college and the job role you are applying for.
