Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I run a Showroom which facilitates an instore design service for customers who want to refresh their kitchen and bathroom with us; we also provide an installation services - so we look to tailor each experience to each customer individually
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Yes, I am continually developing within role
Structure and Support

Okay
How much support do you receive from your employer?

The employer is really supportive; my line manager incredibly so.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I believe the support is really good; I'm quite independent so only tend to reach out if I don't understand something or needed any guidance when to approach a module etc.

4/5
I have grown in confidence
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 tend to do networking events such as career evenings more than anything; there are virtual webinars and workshops available, too.
