To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy how much information I gain from the programme and how I always come away from my sessions with full understanding of what we was just talking about. I also enjoy how free the learning feels and how easy note taking is.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
My confidence has increased over this period of time, to the point i feel comfortable and confident to start conversations with guests and others, I have also learnt about hospitality as a whole and dove deeper into the business aspect of things.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme I feel is very organised as I know where we will be meeting up for our sessions and the time to meet up at. We are always sent emails before our sessions that tell us what we will be going through in that session.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I feel the amount of support I get from my employer is quite a lot as she has gone through some dates where we can plan for our off the job training, along with giving and providing us with information and resources for us to complete our tasks.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I feel that I am getting a lot of support from my training provider as she makes the learning of modules very simple and quite easy, whilst also challenging us when needed to ensure that we are gaining and recieving the information. Also if I am stuck on a certain thing she will offer help that is more helpful towards myself.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel that this qualification helps me to develop my knowledge about hospitality as whole and therefore helps with my job role in many ways, such as helping me get a long better with customers and being able to meet and see to their wants and needs. I also feel it helps me to understand how I should look at ways of being renewable.
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
We are currently raising money for charities, such as GOSH, by having something called a tuck shop, where the company will buy in snacks and drinks and we as employees will purchase these items in order to raise money for charity.
