How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My level three program is very well organised by my tutor who gives me weekly and monthly tasks to complete with full assistance when needed. If there’s anything I’m not sure I can ask or if there is anything I can improve on or I need to know more information on there here to help
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Support I receive from work. It’s limited to day-to-day experiences which they would teach me any new skills. I need to be aware of to further my progression in my career and in my studying. If there’s anything I’m not sure I’m more than happy to train me or get assistance I need to progress even further
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I get full support from my trainer who is absolutely fantastic at what she does. She’s helped me every step of the way and I would’ve never completed my NVQ without her or I would’ve not progressed onto my level three without the assistance of my tutor.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification has taught me very much and how I can improve and a day-to-day job in care how making someone’s well-being better involved in the morning community, health and safety risk assessments. Safeguarding how to be aware of things that happen around you like abuse how to report his problems, all these adding to make me a better carer and the training is helping me do that
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are extra courses you can take for Nurse Plus from psychosis like learning about diabetes, dementia, nutrition, different illnesses and then go tomorrow advanced training which will teach you about peg feeding different oxygen machines and how to use them to even go training to use an enemas but sadly there is no sports team or networking events with Nurse Plus
