In a new store at the moment, I have not learnt new skills or put into practice skills learnt from the course as the role is a level down from my previous role

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
very well structured and very informative
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
I am not receiving the support I was promise at the beginning of the course. The lack of support has affected my progression on the course as i behind on assignment. it seem to be a misunderstanding of the support require from the business, depending on the line manager and their personal agenda at the store level.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

The university has been amazing in supporting to help complete assignment and ensuring all skills are acquired. The skill coaches are easy to reach and are always willing to support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The knowledge acquired from the course help to be better within my role but the is not much opportunity to expand and use the knowledge at the level I should in the workplace
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
There are professional networking events but the opportunity is restricted to a some level of management
