8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I think the programme could be structured better. I think there needs to be better communication between The Growth Company, our recruitment team and ourselves. Perhaps more frequent calls should be arranged with personalised progression plans.

6/10

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

I feel I receive a lot of support from my team. However I feel the recruitment team and The Growth Company could support us better.

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

I feel not enough support was provided for our exams. I feel that the fact we had to come into a new job and even do all studying remotely by ourselves was not taken into consideration.

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

I feel that it helps with me day to day tasks I deal with as I can recognise terminology.
