Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I take calls or webchats depending on my schedule 5 days a week. I talk customers through the process they need to follow to do specific tasks within their software. I also talk through customers how to fix problems or mistakes they have made and escalate problems to the developers if required. I also take onboard customers suggestions and pass them to our developers to see if they could implement them.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I love Sage. I never thought I'd love my job as much as I do. Everyone is so kind, caring and will do anything they can to help you. Customers are lovely and would highly recommend Sage to anyone looking for a job!
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Customer Service skills. Payroll & Accounting skills. Tax & National Insurance. Pensions. Student Loans.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It's very well organised - day release once a fortnight for college and the rest of the time at work doing the job day to day.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A huge amount! Especially during lockdown.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Again, a huge amount - always on hand to see if we need any help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It does, because we can review what we are doing and work on a plan to get better moving forward each time we meet.
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
