Apprentifyレビュー 

My apprenticeship experience started off quite poorly. Communication was inconsistent, and I was often given different information by different people, which didn’t match what my friend on the same programme was being told either. My previous tutor was lovely, but looking back I realise I was missing a lot of key guidance I genuinely needed. This left me feeling extremely stressed, overwhelmed, and confused after each catch up.

The workload was intense and definitely not the “7 hours a week” that was advertised. If an assignment took longer than the expected completion time, you’d be questioned and sometimes even given a backhanded “logging off-the-job hours correctly” assignment, even when the extra time was because I was taking notes and practising properly. I’m very lucky my employer is amazing and flexible, because there were many times I didn’t have enough time to do my actual job alongside the apprenticeship work.

The online classrooms also felt unnecessarily dragged out, and most of the time I felt I could have gone through the PowerPoint myself in an hour. However Steph and Simon did a good job at making these sessions as engaging as they can be.

A lot of the assignments, from the online classrooms and on Bud, made me question whether the workload was a good use of my time.

However, I’ve raised my rating to 3 stars for one reason. I was reassigned Tow as my tutor about a month before EPA, and she has been completely transformative. After my very first meeting with her, I felt 1000x better. For the first time, things were clear. She gave me proper direction, clear actions, and constant, speedy support. Tow has been absolutely amazing and genuinely pivotal in helping me achieve a distinction despite the long, tedious journey beforehand.

If my whole programme had been delivered by Tow, my experience may have been very different and those that do have her from the start are lucky.

Overall, the stress that this course unfortunately caused me does mean I’m unlikely to recommend the course to others, and I have filled the apprentice survey out with honest feedback which I feel would majorly improve the course.

it was a smooth journey and i had all the suppor i neeeded whenever i needed it

I was one of the first Cohorts taking the fundraising level 3 course and unfortunately some of the coaches I was allocated left so in total I had 3 coaches. However I enjoyed the course and I have come out with a distinction in level 3 fundraising.

Great pace and materials delivered by an amazing tutor. I was supported by a supportive mentor along the way. Both Gio and Adrian are experts in their fields and I couldn't have asked for more.

Fundraising level 3 = amazing!

The Level 3 Fundraising apprenticeship has been the most incredible formal learn experience of my life. I would recommend anyone (especially those in their fifties) to do one should the chance be offered.

Thank you Juice Academy and Apprentify

The teaching provided through the apprenticeship was excellent, informative and engaging. The classes were mostly led by industry experts and gave me an excellent understanding of the wider sector, as well as practical and insightful advice.

However, the information provided and structure around the final assessment was incredibly unclear and confusing, meaning that I feel that the experience was so much more stressful than it needed to be as we were constantly given vague and conflicting instructions. It didn't help that my personal tutor changed three times and each time, they seemed unsure of the proper processes or necessary paperwork, despite offering useful industry advice.

The workload is also poorly structured. Employers were contracted to allow less hours a week than the lessons and estimated time spent on assessments combined, meaning there is an unspoken need to complete work outside of working hours. There is also limited support in working with employers to help you gain the practical experience necessary to meet all criteria.

Whilst I did ultimately enjoy what I learned throughout my apprenticeship and value the qualification I have gained to benefit my career, I would not recommend it to my colleagues due to the extra stress caused by poor communication and organisation.

Absolutely brilliant course to be on and both Caroline and Mark ensured we understood the whole syllabus and ensured I understood the why, when, what, how, where on all aspects of the course and especially where to hone in on every step of the framework to my job role. Couldn't be thankful enough to the team so really appreciate it. I hope the other students will gain the same knowledge as I did. THANK YOU!

Everyone was very helpful and special mention to my coach, Tow who was there every step of the way! Would highly recommend!

Really disappointed with what has been delivered for our team, the tutor very disorganised and lacking in knowledge. The team really dread every session, defeats the purpose as employers.

Fantastic experience with Apprentify. I had Chris Schumacher as a coach and couldn't recommend him enough. I received so much helpful guidance and support throughout the whole process which led me to a distinction. Thanks so much!

Apprentify has been amazing throughout this whole process. They are very supportive and will put soo much effort in making sure you can get the best grade possible. I completed my apprenticeship and achieved a distinction alhamdulillah! My development coach was Tow and she was honestly the absolute BEST throughout, helping me with all sorts of things, ensuring I understand what needs to be done, continuously checking in to make sure im okay with the workload etc.

Thank you so much Apprentify!

Had great support from my coach Cristian throughout and enjoyable tasks that were relevant.

Caroline, my coach was fantastic, the learning was great & I was supported throughout - Distinctions achieved across the board

I had a great time while participating in my apprenticeship with apprentify, they had amazing staff that taught well, including my development coach Tow Wilkinson, who went above and beyond whenever I had a question or needed help. The classroom sections were fun and informative, mine were hosted by Becky, and I got to meet a lot of other people doing the same course as me, letting me make some more friends. Overall great experience!

Apprentify offer superb support and education, particularly Tow Wilkinson has been a great development coach.

Coaching is tailored, relevant and perfect in terms of frequency and length.

Great training provider, really helpful & supportive tutors and mentors. Would recommend!

Excellent support through my apprenticeship, was well looked after. Whole process was managed and taken care of, I just had to focus on what mattered, the learning.

I had great support from my coaches Laura and Nicola, who helped me through my apprenticeship journey with Apprentify and The Juice Academy. The blended learning of online and in-person created a lovely supportive environment for my learning.

I had very good support from my coach Gio. Any problems and queries i had through my apprenticeship were answered well with speed. The quality of training was also very good.

My skills coach Liliane was supportive with me throughout the programme, and she helped in any way that was possible which allowed me to succeed as a result.
