Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Project manager for a large international change program, focusing on the flight operations and training aspects of the business.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
It is enjoyable, although for a Master's level apprenticeship isn't too difficult. I was expecting it to be more challenging and cover some topics in more detail.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt some good skills around strategy and financials relating to business.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It is well structured and organised but the communication of what we have to complete and when isn't clear at times.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I get a lot of support from my employer when I have lecture days or an assignment upcoming.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I would say the topics are good and cover a wide basis of useful content. I would like them to go into a bit more details for it to be more useful. The content seems a bit basic for MSc level.
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
Not during a pandemic. A lot of people feel very disconnected during this time. Our team do have occasional social calls which helps.
