Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Day to day running of a production kitchen in a High Street site, catering for the masses and leading whilst working closely with the team, helping develop those who wish to continue growing within the industry.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The programme is great, I just do not have any dedicated Time to work on the course. Work consumes my time, and the balance is consumed by my wife and 9 month old son. Fitting in lifetime work is a huge challenge for me. I end up working well under deadline pressure by getting the work done the day before a catchup with my tutor.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes certainly have. 9 years with the company and 7 learning what makes a good Manager, skills, attributes, learning more on this course too so I can be a better Manager for everyone I encounter in my career and life.
Leadership in particular.
Leadership in particular.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
There is a good structure. The trainer is really good with steering me into the correct direction with the work that needs doing. I have absolute faith in him.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My employer does give me support, however due to the nature of my shift patterns I cannot see a logical time to get studies done at work on the 2 hours dedicated study time. I find it impossible to get any studies done at home too.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Loads
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It will no doubt make me a better manager, teaching me further important aspects about the hospitality industry and being a successful manager.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Other than a charity gold day. I am not aware of any.
