2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Since working I have learnt a lot. In my original position as L&D I was running and developing sessions to an variety of team members which improved my flexibility when it came to delivering. Also my organisational skills have improved due to managing the workload.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

My programme has been great to clarify techniques and approaches I was already inclined to use. It's built my confidence and made me a more logical trainer and worker.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Very well structured. My tutor has made it very clear why I have to complete each section. I think this was more down to him than the course itself but it worked for me.

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

My employer ask how I'm doing and have been supportive when I have needed character reviews. During appraisals it is mentioned and checked on.

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

As I've said, it's built my confidence immensely by using skills I already harness and growing these as part of the qualification. It's also been great to know I can learn whilst doing a full time job.
