But what does an apprentice actually *do*? If you speak to any of our apprentices, you'll probably hear that there's no such thing as a 'typical' day. Depending on the organisation, you might be on the phone helping customers make a claim or you could be analysing customers' needs to decide what kind of coverage they need. Another day you could be participating in an online lecture or class discussion with your fellow apprentices.
