I work in Governance and controls, I am the records management champion, I do change management and I am the Business Continuity representative.
I have learnt new skills and developed existing skills, I have learnt a lot about IT, business continuity, risk and governance
I really enjoy the programme, especially the face-to-face/webinar training as you not only gain the knowledge but you have the chance to put your knowledge to use and to the test
Sadly the first year was poorly organised and there is quite a lot of room for improvement, the second year has been better but still lacks a lot of structure.
I receive great support, I am allowed to work on my coursework and complete everything with the employers collaboration
I have received excellent support from BPP, they have facilitated my learning and have been very understanding with my limitations, 5 stars for them
In the current job that I am in, it has helped me understand the different IT specialities and it has helped me perform my job better, I am not on a technical role but I have learnt q lot with the programme
There are many extra-curricular activities to get involved in at my work, I currently am involved with the Coding Club for Kids and I am working with several networks.
Yes
Because the employer is a great place to work and provides excellent support, amazing career prospects and provides a very inclusive environment,
Follow your passion, you can start at the bottom but you will have so many opportunities to develop and grow your career.
