Business Process Developer Review

Working as the link between people and systems i am mainly involved with project work and supporting my business. I support the business by solving issues that i receive via email and phone calls. With regards to projects, I work closely alongside the IS Team, being involved from Design to delivery. A lot of my time is spent testing issues and new implementations, making sure they are fit for purpose and can be released into the wider scope.

I feel my presentation skills have improved which has proved vital during the pandemic as a lot of meetings are no longer face-to-face. These skills have been transferred when holding online sessions, helping me project in a confident manner. I also developed my already underlining interest in Web Development, having taught myself in high school. Learning the concepts and seeing how much has changed over the years has been really interesting and valuable in my development.

I really enjoy my programme and I am looking forward to starting my second year in September. The skills and confidence I have gained from the programme have been invaluable and definitely make an impact on my day job. I feel like I already had the core skills that we discuss regularly, but being part of this course has helped me build on these and channel them in a positive, mindful way having a great impact.

I feel the my programme is well organised and structured. With a mix of lectures and practical lessons I am able to put what I learn into practise when it is fresh in my mind. I find information has more relevance if I am able to physically use it and it has more of a impact of my understanding. Going forward we will be completing a Unit at a time which will be interesting in the impact this has on my understanding.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. When the University has provided additional support sessions. My employer has been happy in letting me attend. I have also be able to use work time to complete assignments and projects that are part of Uni. I also have a mentor that I can go to for support. People within the company has also been helping and supporting me with regards to aspects i have struggled with.

My training provider provides a lot of support by providing additional support sessions that I can attend. Also tutors are accessible via emails or booking in a one-to-one. If I have emailed any questions they are answered straight away. We are also provided with a Key Skills Coach that we can contact with any questions and queries regarding our units or the course in general. With reviews each quarter to keep track of my progress.

I feel that my qualification has a really positive impact in helping me perform better in my role. I have worked for my company for over 13 years so I have a vast knowledge of the company which has allowed me to progress within. However I feel this qualification is helping me build on my technical skills and giving me the confidence to know that I am performing well and making an impact in my role.

I like to get involved with Charity type events that my employer is very keen to promote. Each year we get to pick a charity to support and throughout the year we create events to build money for the charity. As part of my site I get involved with the organising and taking part of these events. Whether that be bake sales, car washes or sponsoring people to undertake sporting events. I am quite good at the odd poster to generate interest in various events.

Yes

They are a brilliant employer to work for. I have worked for the company for over 14 years starting as an apprentice in one of the sales offices and they have helped me progress through the company now completing a degree apprenticeship, definitely coming full circle. I have developed not only my work skills, but as a person as well. As long as you put the hard work in, this does get noticed and rewarded.

I would not worry too much about qualifications as Marshalls are very much about the people. If you have a right attitude and personality, the other stuff can be taught. Always be willing to learn and be positive to change. I find a lot of people that don't progress within the company are fearful to change, when they should embrace it. If you view change as scary it can consume you can have a negative impact on those around you.
