Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am someone who tests various features of the code that Devs are looking to release into production. My job is to assure quality and functionality alongside various other things.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy it a lot, learning coding, though slow for me, it is fun and the theoretics behind testing are very interesting.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Coding, various differing coding languages at the moment are in the works, the theoretics behind testing, advanced teamwork, and the start of learning banking and financing.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I haven't had much to do with the programme itself but what from I can see it is well done and very well put together by the various teams involved.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from the people around me, especially my manager. I also have team members who are very open and friendly.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
I receive an acceptable amount though there have been a multitude of issues to reach this point.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
It does not have a huge impact on my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are a lot of charity events and social events to get involved in, I have semi-recently been a part of some apprentice talks and general talks to members of the business.
