7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Overall, I haven't enjoyed the programme as much as I thought I might have. I found the exams really stressful, and haven't grown as much as I thought I would.

5/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I believe the programme itself is well organised, shown in regular calls with coach.

6/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Regarding the apprenticeship I didn't feel as much help as needed was received from my employer. Don't get me wrong we were given time to revise but it felt very pressured.

5/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

More support could have been provided by my training provider I think. This is because we were only given certain guidance, which wasn't really outside of the box.

6/10

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

To be honest what I have learnt in my training programme doesn't help me too much in my role. The main skill that is transferrable is time management.

6/10

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.)

Yes, back in the summer I joined a five-a-side football team.
