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

My role entails supporting and assessing learners who work in the Care industry to work towards their level 2 and level 3 apprenticeships. I also support them with achieving their functional skills and support with End Point Assessments.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

After a change in assessors and not really knowing what was happening with my course at the beginning, I feel like I am more aware of what I need to do and my assessor, Zoe, is brilliant. She's very approachable and makes our training session fun and engaging.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

There wasn't any structure to the course when I first started as I had no planner or assessments set which I feel has affected my progress, however, I feel that there is structure after has taken over as my new assessor.

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

It definitely gets me thinking about how I do things in my role and how I train my learners. I have been able to use some techniques that my trainer has used in our sessions to make them more engaging.

9a. Would you recommend Realise to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Realise are great and passionate about developing their learners and staff. I have found that everyone I have spoken to are supportive and approachable which makes a huge difference when lacking confidence.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Realise?

To take each day at a time. Learning can be overwhelming, especially when you haven't done a course in a long time, but it's a great learning opportunity.
