grounds maintenance and animal husbandry
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

its interesting but I don't have enough time for the portfolio on top of my job so it stresses me out a lot.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
management theory

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
very well structured but the web interface for all the tasks, portfolio and logging hours is not user friendly in the slightest
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
a fair amount.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
plenty
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Not a lot because, whilst I'm learning about the management theories I'm not finding it easy to apply them in my job 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.)
2/5
no.
