    9/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • Greatly enjoy it - it gives me dedicated timeout from my role to learn new skills, with assessments ensuring that I have to ensure that I have the time to understand it all.

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

    • Very good, no complaints

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

    • A lot in terms of timeout to attend uni. I try to use my holidays up for doing other uni work, which is not ideal - mainly because I feel guilty leaving my team.

    • It varies across modules, but generally very good

    8/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • The main benefit so far has been to provide context around some of the organisational structure and updated development methods. I anticipate that cloud will also be very useful.

    9/10
  • 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.)

    • Yes, all of the above, but I generally don’t get involved
