Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role involves gaining knowledge and experience multiple subjects within college, to enable me to progress to a higher education level in engineering.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy my programme very much so. Everyone i’ve met have been extremely helpful and never thought I would be so involved in something I enjoy.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Yes, I have learnt many skills that can be used to progress further down the line in the company. Also, personal skills to be used outside the business.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
[This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] some lessons were not allocated a tutor and we have had to do all the work in half the amount of time. However, this was probably because of Covid, so i understand.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I feel that we get lots of help and we are reminded of it everyday.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
The college does not provide the right amount of help due to the lack of proper tutor allocation.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Very much so.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
No
