10/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • Every day is not the same day, I liaise with preferred strategic suppliers to ensure that they are meeting their contractual T&Cs. I support stakeholders within Europe and ME to procure their MRO goods for their sites.

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

    • My existing skill set was in the finance function so I have learnt a new skill set when moving to Indirect Purchasing. This relates to project management, managing internal and external stakeholders.

    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • The programme is very engaging even though it is completed virtually. It has been really helpful for me to put the theory behind some of the activities which I complete on a day to day basis.

    10/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The structure is fantastic and I really appreciate the revision sessions are so close to the actual examinations.

    10/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • My employer supports me by providing me with 20% of my work time dedicated towards the programme.

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

    • The training provider is very supportive if I email my tutor or coach when I am unsure of something or need support on a particular question when revising I always receive a response almost immediately but definitely within 24 hours.

    10/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • It absolutely helps me to perform better as it helps me to analyse my supply base and market using tools that I have not used previously.

    10/10
  • 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.)

    • Not at the moment due to COVID 19 restrictions.
