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

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the work i do & it tends to change frequently & remain challenging. The role it's self is helping me continuously improve skills & it varies enough to allow me to be flexible between work and my degree qualification.

9/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I tend to complete the qualification / program independently - but if i needed the support i know my manager could help where possible. I manage my own time to study & complete work whilst completing my role also. The program was fairly new to the company & so we are still learning how to manage it.

8/10

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

From my manager i receive any support i need, if i ask for this.

10/10

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

QA has been supportive within some modules and others have been poorly organized / supported; this has made some of the qualification this year more difficult. The organization isn't great in some aspects ie workshop scheduling, but has been fed back & worked on.

7/10

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

My qualification currently is giving me a better insight into management and leading and the general aspects of business - this is helping me with my understanding of the business, rather than directly affecting my current role.

8/10

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.)

We complete 4 hours as a minimum of community involvement each year as a team.
