Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am a control account manager and take responsibility for the start to end of a specific suite of qualifications.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Until recently I was really enjoying it. I am finding it harder to source the resources and their comms are poor. Pearson are fully supportive.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Developed my existing skills and learning the language of Project Management through the course.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The programme, on paper is very organised and structured but in practice materials and guides are shared late, sometimes you do not get the slides or information about a class until late the day before so you cannot prepare.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Loads of support from my employer. I have a mentor who has connected me to people across the organisation and I get more than enough time off to study.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
There is limited support as they do not understand how we work in our business.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I have greatly improved my working practices and understand the business aims and goals better. I can now ensure that I consider all aspects and work closer with stakeholders as a result.
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
I am fully involved in Employee Relations Groups for different groups of people, there are regular meet-ups both official and unofficial and we are encouraged to chat even when fully virtual and have social meetings.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Pearson to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The people are amazing, the benefits are very generous and we all work together. The CEO is such fun and has brought a sense of fun to the job.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Pearson?
Be prepared to learn and be proactive in offering support outside of your immediate team. We have a fantastic team who will give each other a hand when we can. No one is in a silo.
