I am a branch manager meaning I am in control of every aspect of running a business. this includes handling money, dealing with all aspects of employees and all different types of helth and safety.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I did find it difficult at times with the amount of hours I had to put in, along side my extensive working hours.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I feel I have learnt all sorts of new skills. This can be fro things like SWOT to how to get a member of staff to a new level via coaching.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I felt it was a well organised programme and I was helped every step of the way. If I needed my coach to help me with anything he was always available.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I did get great support from my employer. I was allowed time off to do work at home when I got a bit behind and I was given a tutor to help with math. I couldn't fault them.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I got all the help and support I could ever hope for.Without [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] I probably wouldn't of even passed the course, let alone get a distinction.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It most certainly gives me extra tools which I will use in my role for the rest of my days.
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
We do like to arrange a night out with the staff and customers every few months to keep everyone bonded.
