Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves me talking to different underwriters and writing up mid term adjustments, I normally have at least one E-Learning call either to help towards my exams or to learn about new topics in the insurance industry
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I find my programme interesting and enjoyable as well as very supportive of my study to work ratio. the only downside I can think of is more about the training provider used.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed my organisational skills and learnt how to further progress my communication skills
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
my programme allows me to have time for my work as well as my studies, it is organised in a way that i have time to learn about my role as well as prepare for my exams.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
my employer provides lots of support with training sessions and lessons to help with my transition from school to full time work
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
The Growth Company hasn't supported towards are qualifications, they haven't provided us with suitable learning materials or true preparation for the exam.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
I do not feel that The Growth Company has helped me perform better in my role, they have not helped me with my qualification and have had to rely on independent study. However as a whole the qualification has allowed me to better understand the insurance industry
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
I have joined the netball team and the young professionals network this has allowed me to network and meet lots of interesting and inspiring people.
