Network Engineer Review

My role is more on the fault management side of the business. My role only deal with business customers and not residential customer. I spent most of my times dealing with alarm faults and phoneline issues. I also tend to answer calls from customers that would like to raise tickets or update them.

I am able to test and investigate live faults and see where the issue lies. I am able to action alarms tickets. I know the process of logging tickets and the different SLAs. I can design and build networks. I am able to communicate well with customers to make them understand the situation.

I really enjoy the programme. It has been a great experience so far. I am happy with the rewards you receive by completing the programme. The qualifications will help me build a strong portfolio and go further within the company. It's been great working for a large company and dealing with so many different types of customers and understanding their needs.

I believe the programme had a good structure but it can be improved lightly. We have to take into consideration the times we are in, it hasn't been easy for anyone. There is a lot of transparency of what is going on which makes it easier to make plans to reach our goals.

I receive quite a lot of support from my employers. They give me enough time to complete any coursework or study for exams. We have monthly meetings to discuss my progress and if I require more assistance. Since the start, I believe the support has got much better. There is a good balance between work and studying.

I receive a lot of support. I have a skills coach that has helped me through my whole course whether it be exams or coursework. They make sure I spend enough time of the job studying. I have monthly meetings with my skills coach to discuss my progress and what needs to be done to reach my goal.

I believe my role and the qualifications I am training for go hand in hand. MY course focuses on the networks and my role helps support networks. Learning on the course helps me in my role because I can understand more the more I learn. Putting it into practice also helps me understand the technical side of things.

There are many activities to get involved in. I tend to play football once a week with some of my colleagues. There are events every quarter to discuss how the company is doing and future projects. There are well-being events that focuses on mental health which I think is vital.

Yes
