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

    • I design wireframes and mock up screens of how potential screens and changes will look like. I also attend team sprint meetings to understand what is needed and what is going on in the team.

    • The structure of the programme has increased a lot and it is of better quality. The organisation has taken a lot more responsibility to ensure we get the training we need.

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

    • I believe the training provider could better their support as I believe we do not get enough communication with them but they do have catch ups with us every 10 weeks to fill in a document and ask some questions.

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

    • Depending on the module sometimes the stuff we learn directly correlates with the work I am doing however sometimes I believe what we learn is to help us operate better in general within organisations.
