All the time, continuously learning in my role whilst developing existing skills to help me do my job to the highest standard.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

Very well organized, I am told what's expected of me and what I need to develop. When training is planned in I am made aware and so are all other relevant parties.

5/5

I receive full support from my employer to fulfil my role, I feel confident asking for more support and additional training when required

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

Full support, I feel I get the support I require when I need it. Feel confident to ask for more support and training from the training provider when required. The training provider have provided additional support when I have asked in the past

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

Overall NVQ has helped when writing up jobs as it is a chance to reflect on the jobs undertaken. HNC opens up thinking of different aspects of engineering but isn't directly related to my role but I enjoy it nevertheless

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 is yes but I am not interested in this
