Overview of Role

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The programme was fantastic and I have learned and progressed myself professionally and personally because of this course. The course content was relevant, however during the course the structure changed which meant the learning on the reflective diary was different to the learning required on classroom - this lead to confusion. Some areas were vague which I needed explanation and clarification from my tutor to explain what was required.

I have learned different types of leadership and management styles, models and methods for managing people and dealing with difficult situations, and ways to improve personal development
