Tutor [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is always really good, answers any questions and takes calls whenever needed, feel very well supported.
Often have queries on meeting criteria and 'does this apply' etc and Kelly is always keen to make sure I am including all aspects of my role and new responsibilities.

Feel more confident, able to apply models and theories which is really good when leading a team, especially with new projects. I have refreshed own knowledge and skills and have saved many many resources to support my personal development in the future.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
