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

    • I really enjoyed the work at sage and everything around the Job, the learning at university was lackluster, everything they wanted to teach was something i had already picked up at A-level or at my job. and the deadlines were not correctly set. the University was also terrible with communication, having maybe 1 meeting outside of University

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

    • it doesnt, i learnt everything i know at work with little to none of it coming from the provider, the course tried to cover too many topics and as a result didnt actually help me understand any of it
