In the role, yes. Through the apprenticeship, no not really.

6/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The apprenticeship has not been the best experience due to the facilitators I have had, and the lack of communication from BPP at times. I am over my timescale to complete due to the missed months of communication.

3/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very unorganised communication, hub needs updating and needs to be set out more clearly, work load is often too large at times with short deadlines when working in contact centre.

From my employer I receive all the support I could possibly get.
