Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Learnt how to deputise for my line manager and how to run meetings

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
My programme is pretty well structured, learn all the information before going into the assessment period. I find that the off job training log is a bit pointless as it doesn’t count for anything towards end grade.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I don’t receive as much support from my employer as I feel I could, during difficult times at current it has made it harder to continue with my programme and my employer sometimes forgets I need to complete it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My training provider has given me a great deal of support always at the end of an email to answer any questions I have and we have regular meetings to ensure I understand the course.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel that the qualification gives me a better understanding of my role and helps me understand why I have to do certain things from all aspects of the business. I hope it will help me grow within the company too.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Currently we have no extra curricular activities to get involved within
