    7/10

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Reasonably well structured. I feel like we are being taught a lot of information over a limited number of engagements and there is an emphasis on a lot of personal learning, which many people may not be able to afford to give.

    7/10

  • Sufficient to undertake and complete the programme.

    10/10

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Sufficient although I think the amount of work is too much and feel that this could be reduced.

    8/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Somewhat. I am aware of my enhanced listening and questionning skills. I was already a reasonably experienced mentor and I now understand the different skills set to be a good coach (with 30+ hours experience) however, there is still so much of the programme remaining before it's complete.

    7/10
