    8/10

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

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • In the end, a lot. However, the first 5-6 months were very rocky and unstructured and this resulted in me almost giving up on the course. The content was great, and the final coach was brilliant.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Felt unstructured, and the expectations not clear which made it hard to understand the structure and the work expectation.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My line manager was fantastic however I did change my line manager 6 months in which helped a lot with support. I would say they are not equipped with enough structure to understand the workload and expectations

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • My training provider was great throughout, very engaging and explained the context well. She also offered additional support or to go through additional parts again, and felt very approachable and genuine.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I think its helped my mindset and personal belief that I can still learn and do things differently. My outlook is a lot better then it was and I now try to not work in silo as much
