  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I work in commercial banking and therefore we managed all the processes for companies and business who wants to open business accounts. My job is different everyday because my tasks depend on which project I am working in that moment

    • Plenty new skills since this is a sector in which I've never worked before

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

    • I enjoy it very much, maybe I would just change some of the BPP work since it's for very beginners and in this programme there are also people that have other jobs already

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

    • the trainer is always available for any question I have or if I need any help. Every time I send an email I always get a reply within 24 hours and my trainer is always happy to explain everything to me

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

    • I think my qualification is useful for those who never been to uni or never had a job before, for me personally, the qualification doesn't help because all the topics are things that I have already been trained on in previous jobs or studied at university
