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

I assist the team getting Key data that will be used in Consultancy for clients, create availability sheets of different submarkets and personally do a monthly Newsletter that keeps the team aware of what is going on in the Commercial property industry.

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

I have learnt loads. For example, I have grown my confidence with data coding and using excel, I have got better with speaking to clients and I have learnt ways of showcasing key info through constructing infographics.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy it a lot as this is a new area of property I am being exposed to. Overtime, once I have the knowledge more cemented I will be able to enjoy my role more and be a bigger asset to my team.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is structured very well. There is always a point of call you can go to and get support on anything you need within the business. Even the University I attend with my job have so many resources that can help me flourish in my studies and show deadlines clearly.

10/10

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

I receive loads of support from my employer. Within my team I have someone who helps me if I feel unsure about referencing in my assignment and if I am feeling okay with the workload. I am well aware of who to contact if things were looking not as positive.

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

I get all the support I need. I am more independent so I usually am okay by myself or my team. However, my AOO is only a call or email away if I was ever in a position where I needed immediate support.

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

It helps a lot especially with the Law side of my course. When it comes to brokerage work there is contracts involved and learning about all the technicalities helps me understand what I am reading and help the client if they have any questions around it.

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.)

There is so many extra-curricular activities to be involved in. For example, I am signed up as a mentor for Career Ready which helps younger students get ready for the working world and build their confidence up.
