  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I really enjoy my apprenticeship. The course has great content and interesting modules taught through a mix of in-person and online learning. I feel really supported by the university and the lecturers are quick to answer any questions or queries I may have via email. I also enjoying travelling to the university and speaking to other people on my course.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • For the most part, it is structured and organised well. There have been some instances where an on-site day has been moved or an online session cancelled. Also sometimes the on-sites dates have been the day before the deadline of the same or a different module so it has been difficult to ensure assignments can be completed before the session.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I receive a lot of support from my employer. We are a very small team of 3 employees in the whole company and have constant communication with each other so if there is anything I need from them or if I have any questions, these can be asked and answered very quickly.

  • 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.)
  • As I work for a small business there are not any extra curricular activities. However, we do often meet at a restaurant or pub to work and are able to have food and drinks during the work day. In future, it would be nice to have social outing and sports activities when the company grows.
