To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I very much enjoyed the apprenticeship I did in leadership and management. Improving my skills in leadership and the difference between managing and leading. One of the highlights was working on time management, which I found particularly helpful.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I received a lot of support from Corndel. Our trainers were brilliant and always there to help, even outside of our sessions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Although I was already experienced as a manger, I learnt a lot from the course. I feel I can lead a lot better and I have become a better manger after doing the course.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are some, but there could be a lot more to get people involved with.
