I over see the running of a school kitchen providing food for 1500 students. Managing 7 staff. I complete a monthly stocktake and I place weekly orders. I have regular meetings with my on-site client.

I enjoy, learning and the one on one classes with my tutor. I find them helpful with my day to day job.

I’ve learnt how to tackle HR problems, and how to have job chats with staff members, this has lead to some positive changes.

How well organised/structured is your programme?

I find the structure of the course is really good. It’s divided up into sections and each section is completed before you move onto the next.

My line manager is always there to help me, and point me in the right direction to gather evidence/ answers. She has also joined some on my online classes.

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

My tutor is fabulous. She replies to my e-mails straight away and rings me if necessary.

5/5

I’ve found the course really helpful, especially with some of the HR problems I’ve had. The lessons also gave me confidence to be able to tackle difficult staff members.

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

No.
