    • Yes, but only the data elements. Was already a change and project manager.

    7/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • It was hard on top of the day job especially as I was the manager! Found the support from the Multiverse coach to be inconsistent at best. But I did enjoy the module sessions and being able to try new things.

    7/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The main module sessions were well organised, however the coaching sessions were a little more ad hoc!

    8/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I was in control as to the amount of support. They were very supportive when I needed it.

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

    • Support from the coaches was inconsistent. One coach never seemed to reply to emails and another one wasn't able to help on a Power BI query

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