Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role is partially a Sales and Administration role and partly Technical; bridging the gap between the Sales and Operational sides for Marston's Telecoms (part of Marston's PLC). Tasks range from talking to customers and assisting in the sales process to providing Technical expertise to the Sales Team.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
So far the program has been enjoyable and informative - enabling me to learn and develop my knowledge whilst also finding ways to implement my findings within my day to day role at work. This has further been supported my line manager and company MD who are fully invested in me and my further education.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have improved my communication skillset and learnt a lot about the Telecommunications industry. My line manager and company MD have been very supportive and gave me a lot of additional learning and scope to improve my technical skillset and projects that have enabled me to feel valued within the workplace
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is structured well, with classes and home learning. The classes are fantastic and have a mix of theoretical and practical work with a knowledgeable and engaging teacher. The assignments that follow are designed to reinforce the knowledge gained and help is always at hand by a designated course trainer if needed.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer provides me with anything and everything that I could need. My employer is fantastic and ensures that any time that I require for study, help or knowledge within the business is available to me to ask questions and gain additional knowledge. I could not wish for a better and more supportive employer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
So far, QA has been great. The teacher that I have had for my first 2 or 3 live learning sessions has been fantastic. My DLC outside of the classroom session has been supportive and prompt to answer queries.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
As my role has a technical element, the additional knowledge that I have gained has made me feel more confident and able to converse better, with more authority with my colleagues. As I have been composing more documents and using more complex maths through my course, I have noticed that my day-to-day work has also improved.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
I have been recently attending some networking events through work which have been a great experience for me personally.
