Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

I manage a team and oversee a large programme of technical work.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

really useful content, but the assignments have been confusing and inconsistent - sometimes not reflecting the content delivered, and with details on word count incorrect. Some negative experiences with my coach, who seemed disorganised and struggled to schedule appointments with me and offer sufficient support.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

3/5

I have learned new insights and some new approaches which have been helpful

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

well organised in theory, but in practice, assignments seemed to come out of nowhere, and did not related to course content.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

my employer offered this programme and my manager has been very supportive

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

2/5

mixed support - my coach changed part way through my course. My original coach strugelled to schedule appointments with me and seemed over worked. They were slow at responding to queries
