Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
Create workflows, analyse the data that comes from that and present it to stakeholders.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
To some extent, I enjoyed it more at the start.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Alteryx, Pivot tables, VBA.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
It was organised, however I did not receive some materials near my exam date and there were issues with tutors.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
At the beginning not much, however this year I have seen an increase in support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Not very much. I only received a one-off (goodwill) tutor session.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Not much at all. I do more of a technical, analytical role that only an accounting qualification helps with finance terms, but not a direct correlation to helping me perform better.
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
Social activities, different networks, apprenticeship events.
