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

I am on a rotation of the varied PMO job roles including Risk, Change and Reporting. Currently I am helping with the reporting aspect so spend time on excel formatting and creating project reports, both weekly and monthly.

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

They do give support however I would say the training provider itself has many lecturers that are not the best at explaining various topics and telling us where to go for further help.

4/10

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

I would say it helps extensively as it is directly related to my role.

I enjoy any social activity.
