Training Coordinator Review

My day-to-day role involves communicating with the wider business on their training needs. Helping them to access training courses and sessions for their teams. I'm also responsible in managing our LMS to track and report on training completions.

I've been able to put on my own training session to help managers track training progress. This has allowed me to develop new skills. As I have been responsible for designing the content, the delivery of the training session, and evaluating the feedback. Using the training cycle.

Being on this apprenticeship has allowed to work more closely with the wider business and understand their learning needs and requirements. It has given me more confidence as I've had the opportunity to learn the theories behind different learning styles and learn how to create an engaging training session.

The programme is well structure as you can access the online content at any time which you can work through at your own pace. You also get the chance to check in with a mentor every couple of weeks to look at your progress. I always look forward to the zoom training sessions. As they give you the opportunity to interact with other people on your programme.

My manager has been great at supporting me with my apprenticeship. We have a catch up call every week to keep me on track. It gives me the opportunity to discuss how I can utilise what I have learnt from the programme, and how I can apply it to my day to day job.

We have access to a mentor and can reach out to them at any point during the programme. I also find the trainer that delivers the sessions is also great. She always provides us with really useful guides and tools to help us with our research, and is great at getting us to interact and ask questions when we are in the training sessions.

This qualification has allowed me to understand the theory side of training. I now have a better understanding of L&D and the training cycle. I definitely feel more knowledgeable in my role and have gained a range of new skills which has not only developed me as a person but will also be great for the company. As I can now start to analyse and evaluate the impact of the training we deliver to the business.

I would recommend CityFibre to a friend because it's a fun place to work. No two days are the same. Colleagues care about you on both a professional and a personal level.
