The assessments were structured really well - I clearly knew what assessment were due in and what they required. - My tutor was really helpful giving me a & to do list straight away our meetings Sometimes the portal was hard to navigate but useful to be online
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Somewhat support - I did my assessment during half terms or in my own time as it was not practical to them in work hours due the the nature of the job - I did struggle to make up my off the job hours. However teacher were supportive and positive in doing my observations and letting me attend their lessons
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A lot of support :) my tutor did "to do" list of our meetings to help with my organisation and emailed me reminding when our meetings coming up, reminding me to update off the work hours . - This was really useful as work can get really hectic
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Going over polices such as safeguarding and health and safety was a useful reminder. - Also assessment based on the curriculum was useful to see the age related milestone and expectations of each year group. More behaviour management and assessments based on scenarios would have been useful too
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
