    9/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

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

    • Slightly better as I learn the more technical side of fundraising and from a smaller charity perspective, rather than corporate fundraising. However I believe the day-to-day learning from actually working is the most beneficial thing.

    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.)

    • Socials with apprentices, BA football teams, team days.
