As challenging and stressful this role can be, it leaves me with a sense of job satisfaction that makes me enjoy the work and look forward to coming in.

I've learnt how to value work, use of CAD software, expanded my problem solving, negotiation and people skills. I am learning more and more every week.

How well organised/structured is your programme?

The course is very well organised and I feel I get the support I need.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

I receive a good level of support from my employer. However, from my experience, I have learned far quicker through working things out myself and asking lots of questions.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I believe my training provider gives me the right level of support in order to complete the degree to a good level.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Although some modules I have done don't directly relate to my day to day roles, overall I think what I have learnt has given me a much broader library of knowledge, as well as specialising in other areas.
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
There are occasionally opportunities. There are social events around important dates such as practical completion etc.
