Currently I work as a data analyst, working with Social media, search and review data to provide insights to business partners in the homecare category. I will find and analyse the data using various tools and then create PowerPoint decks turning the data into actionable insights for various business partners.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The worst part of the programme is when anything is needed form the careers team as they take very long to respond and are not very efficient when they do.

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

We met with Pearsons one time to support on our end point assessment and they were fairly useless. Whoever at Pearsons made the criteria for the course did not consider how we would actually achieve the criteria and haven't provided much clarity since.

It somewhat helps with the role but I learn far more at work than I do at University
