Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I work with Analysts (typically recent Graduates), to analyse data and produce policy recommendations.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I like the course I am on. It is interesting and requires me to use it in my role.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have learnt a lot of analytical and problem solving skills, as well as data science skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

2/5

This could be improved. It has minimal contact with the tutor.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

My employer is very supportive in giving me the time I need for study leave, and supports me in finding work I both enjoy and can use in evidence.

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

3/5

Minimal support. The tutor is able to answer questions, and is very good at this, but it is all very independent and you need to stay on top of the work / manage your own deadlines.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

3/5

There are some aspects which have helped me in my day-to-day role, but for the most part it is not overly relevant. My role is more technical and specific than the course. I do, however, feel like I have learnt a lot about the industry.
