Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
1/5
Delivering projects that will improve the user experience. This involves researching, wireframing, designing, testing, and communicating with stakeholders.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
I do not enjoy have university lectures online because in person works best. I want Northumbria University and QA to make the learning in person.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
I have learned how to create wireframes and prototypes on Figma.
I have learned how to use a design system library on Figma.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
Horribly organised. There is one skills coach to 50-100 apprentices.
There is not much support. Professors do not reply to emails and just read off a PowerPoint.

How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
Minimal, unless I asked.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Just enough. They only do the bare minimum.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
It helps now and then. It can improve in being more practical and up to date.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Yes.
