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

My day to day basis is providing personal support to my DD’s and ensuring they have everything they need. This can include checking inboxes for papers and to ensure there are no clashes with meetings. I deal with recrruitment and HR work too. As well as finance related issues

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

I receive a lot of support . I know that I will always get a quick email response and that is so helpful for me as I am always on my laptop and working and often might need last minute help with something or reminding of a task I am yet to complete
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It helps me perform a lot better as I can relate to all business functions and can understand how the business works a lot easier. I feel I can bring any skills I learn about into my role and feel I am also capable of speaking about them too a

Yeah there are loads of different networks and groups, this has been limited however due to covid , prior to this there would be running groups for example or many other societies . I am part of a few online but I am looking forward to being in the office and seeing mkre
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Babington to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Because it has been nothing but straight forward and easy, all staff have been pleasant and understanding too which makes a big difference snd makes you want to work harder as you feel better for doing so to. It is easy to use and has been very effective for me
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Babington?
I don’t have any tips to give to others. Other than be open and frank about what you want from the course and how you can beat mange your time, if not then it may become harder down the line to be open with you tutor , which isn’t ideal
