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

4/5

I am the Operations Director of a National Training Provider, that delivers Apprenticeship. I manage a team of about 15 remote workers, who form part of the quality / delivery team. I look at learner numbers, completions, starts and the learner experience. I get involved with the day to day running of LSP, Including financial decision.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am enjoying learning about different leadership styles, which is supporting me with managing remote teams better.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I would say that i have been focusing and understanding more about finance, due to Covid 19, which has pushed me more into that area.
Also changing the way i manage my team, as it has become more of a remote leadership that face to face.

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

4/5

The amount of support is just right for me, i am working through an online knowledge programme, which is suitable for me learning style. My tutor is always there when i need her.

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

4/5

The qualification suits my roles, and allows me to go into areas that i might not have had the opportunity to do so. The qualification pushed me to explore other parts of the business, which i am enjoying.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

We have a work quiz every Friday afternoon and social coffee mornings. I attend external events (online at the moment). Our work does a lot of charity events, which involves the whole organisation.
