Overview of Role

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

4/5

Bid Manager - pricing foundation and piling projects within the construction industry

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I found it enjoyable, however the workload was a challenge at times

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Python, machine learning and improved data manipulation and analysis tools.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

Relatively well organised. Sometimes the General Assembly learning resources contained errors, which caused frustration. Multiverse structure was quite well sequenced, but not all aspects taught during coaching sessions due to slow colleagues and time lost.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

3/5

Support in terms of time, but not with IT issues or having a person or resources to call upon for assistance.

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

4/5

Sufficient support from my coach specifically, who provided time to assist me.

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

3/5

I have additional skills now to draw on, which I use during my work. Unfortunately, my employer has not chosen to utilise my skill fully, and I am losing day-to-day syntax knowledge.
