Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Currently working from home doing lectures. Future days will be a mixture of practical workshops and learning
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
Great people and content. Not perfect but that is due to the circumstances and working from home is not the same. Hopefully this will change soon
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Not yet (as of 12/02/21). However the practical learning that was been scheduled for later will definitely be new
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Generally well organised. Content is worked through at pace (sometimes a bit too fast) but structure is sound and good considering the circumstances.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Great support. Regular meetings with leaders and 1 on 1 is good. Support awareness is made clear from day 1
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Use Canvas very well. Tutors are very helpful and prompt with replies. Not hard to get heard even in a big class. All content are available whenever needed
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Early days but all good skills with analysis and maths. Work load is so far manageable and links are made between qualification and apprenticeship.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Opportunities are available and I trust they will be explained to us in good time.
