10/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt and developed new skills but some of the way it was taught wasn’t great

5/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It’s been very clear that it’s a new programme and they hide behind this when any flaws are addressed. You are not really kept informed with what is going on so the good bits of the programme seem lost

4/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Really poor communication throughout and some of the content isn’t structured well.

2/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Minimal. My line manager doesn't really know what’s going on and no one keeps them up to date. He’s been to one meeting but he can’t really understand if I am doing well or not. To be honest neither can I

2/10

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

Kept in the dark to be honest about the next step as it seems as they don’t have much clue either.

2/10

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

I think through dedicating more time to research and work on developing my skills through work time has definitely improved my performance.

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.)

1/10

9a. Would you recommend Marston's to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I would recommend Premium to people. Marstons don’t actually get in contact ever and we are made to feel like outsiders and don’t get included in Marstons so I have no relationship with Marstons what so ever

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Marston's?

Not really sure
