    8/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • The university work is okay. It's all virtual so it gets quite repetitive, and the little time to complete the learning, assignments and general admin can make it stressful. All in all it is worth it though

    7/10

    9/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Response can be delayed but they always get back to you eventually. The delay doesn't matter too much as you are only doing uni related work one day a week

    8/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • They are definitely linked, but I often find that it's my role that helps me perform better in my uni work rather than the other way round

    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.)

    • At work there is always some sort of social or networking event happening at some point
