4/5

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
On paper the structure is good. During placements around the business in different departments, the organization is lacking. At times it seems as though teams are just given an apprentice with no plan about how to use them correctly or develop their skills. It is dependent on the departments management.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Generally good, but formal training opportunities should be more frequent
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The help is there, but I don't often need it due to the degree often being different to my day to day operation.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
The applicable knowledge is module dependent. Very theory based modules such as strategic management concepts would be most applicable at top level management. Basic learning and frameworks in modules such as finance, project management and personal development are more applicable
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 really
