4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The course is structured relatively well. From a work side of thing I think it’s very good however, from university it can be time consuming to watch all the lecturers before hand.

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

My team is extremely supportive - I’m always questioned if I need help with anything and everyone is super patient with me if I don’t understand anything.

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

There’s always opportunity to receive feedback, whether it’s from our lecturers or from our mentor so I feel like if I need feedback or help it is available.

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

As I have only studied 2 modules it is quite difficult to find the link at times between what I’m studying and my role. There are some modules which I think will relate and overall everything is interesting so far.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Given the current situation of working from home, it is a bit difficult to get involved in other activities. However, we do occasionally have some guest speakers, an exercise programme and mindful activities.
