  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have developed a lot of skills for example improved communication, organisation, and problem solving. I started with no technical experience and now have a fundamental understanding.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • There is a lot of support from my employer, I always get the 20% each week and supported in my learning and applying this to my role. If I am in need of more time to study then I am given the flexibility to fit this around my day role. The workload is also balanced to ensure that there is not an overload to juggle the studying.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • The training provider is easily accessible and I am also given a coach who is contactable if I need anything. I meet with the training coach every six to eight weeks to see how I am getting on and if there are any requirements to help with my learning. This is good because it helps to organise or rearrange workshop dates which they are very organised with.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • The qualification will help broaden my knowledge to apply this learning in the working environment and try new ways of working to be more productive. At the end of the degree I am also awarded with a CMI status as well as the degree so this is an added benefit. The qualification will help me understand what it is to be a good manager and the different areas this covers.
