As the first year there has been a few delays in assignments or changes to the planned teaching content, however the aston team have been more than supportive and have dealt with any kinks effectively

Our employer is very supportive and checks in regularly to check on the challenges we face and how they can help improves them. However line managers understanding of the course at the beginning could be improved and they don't fully understand the requirement of the programme or its commitments.

Aston University course admin and programme leaders are always on hand to help us with anything we may need, especially with the challenges faced during the covid pandemic.

I feel that the qualification does help me perform better at work as it give me a greater understanding of the whole picture of the business and not just the area I work in. This helps me think beyond my role and look at other potential business impacts.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Within the company we have many networks that employees set up and run based on the needs of the group/ employees. There are also local sport teams that are set up by employees. These groups are continuing to grow and develop.
