3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have enjoyed it however online learning is difficult for myself. I would rather be able to make notes physically and hand in assignments written as i believe i am more of a visual learner.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is OK. Improvement could happen towards making the online systems easier to access and resources easier to find.

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

Mild amounts. It could be better however my working environment isn’t always an environment i want to be in due to bad comments, favouritism and minimal support. After my apprenticeship i don’t plan on staying.

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

I received a written warning for doing some coursework at work, which was never resolved and i believe never deserved. I also received this due to overloaded decon trays which i was never shown was wrong and still never have been shown the right way. I received no pay for my study day this week. My manager was unprofessional on how she handed the written warning to me infront of all staff members. This is 1 out of multiple incidents.

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

I now have deeper understanding and knowledge of why certain treatments are carried out and the anatomy behind this. I now also understand the support side of nursing eg safeguarding, anxiety calming.
