Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
An overview of my day is completing my online learning in the morning, helping sort mail and parcels for 2/3 duties and then preparing my own duty for delivery. I then deliver that mail and any parcels.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy my learning because I always find something new. Some of the modules can be really lengthy which can be hard to stay focused on

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I’ve learned lots of new digital skills from completing my online learning on a new platform but I have also learned many skills needed for my role with Royal Mail.

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It’s very organised and broken down so that one months learning all ties together

I receive full support from my employer and I am given any support or time needed to ensure I get my work done to the best standard I can deliver
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I have regular calls with my training provider and they are very helpful when I have any questions about some of the learning to help me understand it better
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My learning gives me the insight into why policies and procedures are in place for specific activities with Royal Mail, helping me understand the importance of following them.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
No
