Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am a Commercial Channel Manager developing sales and marketing strategies for leading wholesale, retail and online reseller accounts.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoyed the learning environment and the skills it has provided me. I did feel I could have been better supported in the workplace with a subject leader to refer to who could have pointed me in the right direction for further information.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I learned a great deal of new knowledge and enhanced my planning, research, and strategic skills, along with presentation, communication and leadership skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme was very well structured.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
My line manager and apprenticeship advocate were very supportive, but I feel more resources should be made available to apprentices to help complete the projects and work-based tasks.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The course was very self-led. We only had one full day of tutor-led learning every two months, and the skills coach could have helped with more practical skills such as academic reading, citations, writing and presentations. They did support me well before my EPA.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I definitely feel that the qualification will help me to research and plan marketing campaigns better, and take into account the wider business environment.
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
Yes, I currently enjoy online Yoga through my employer.
