Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
As a personal tutor I provide learners with informed exciting lessons that support with learning more about topics that relate to their work role in health and social care and the apprenticeship they are working towards.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Enjoyed the group learning and support given.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes absolutely. More about being creative in approach with others, understanding the importance of holistic teaching that allows each individual to excel and expand on knowledge.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It was a new area for me to learn and expand on. It was well organised and structured. Perhaps a slightly longer programme period may have been beneficial for other learners.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Very supportive with a great manager and senior colleagues that helped with new work experiences and shadowing.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Great support. Always contactable whether it was a teams meeting, call or a call there was never a bad time and something could always be booked in if needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It has helped a lot, I have more confidence and knowledge that will support me through my work place and role.
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
Yes there is - as most of the working day is virtual we all try and connect as a team.
