Yes, because I am very new to the role, everything I have been shown recently is a new skill.
I wasn't too keen on the theory part of my programme. I have however, enjoyed the more recent times with one-to-one sessions with my tutor and having our professional discussions.
Again, theory side not so, left alone to get through it. Skills and evidence based, through one-to-one meetings much more structured and progressive.
At the start of my course it was a struggle, I had a different role/manager nd it was difficult to manage my studies. My new role and a new supportive manager has helped this and I feel as though I have full support from both my line manager and other colleagues.
My tutor and I have weekly teams meetings in place. But I also know that I could ring him at any time with a query and he would answer or at least give me a call back.
The qualification has helped me gain knowledge of various areas within projects that I wasn't too clued up about. This helped me as I have had 2 job roles during my time on my course.
Not currently on any projects that i am apart of, hard due to covid and also working so far away from home. However, when i was based on a project based near home i organised 7 aside football with the project team.

Good company to work for, supportive, tight group of colleagues.
Be prepared to be open about work location. Opportunities for progression (if needed) will be available. Great colleagues.
