Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I find it really interesting. I enjoy doing units and trying to break each section down into my role and how I manage. Sometimes it is hard to set aside time to get it done but always manage to complete the units. I would recommend this to every colleague as the skills and knowledge is good to have.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I feel this has been really interesting and informative. On each unit ai feel I take something or reflect in my role. With Care Act laws and legislation I have even made staff aware of changes or ideas from my unit. I have many one to ones with my tutor and this really gets me reflecting and realise how much we do in our role and why it is so important.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is very well structured. was a bit difficult as the website platform was changed over but my tutor still stayed in touch and walked me through each step. Every unit is broken down and they have a PowerPoint each section that the tutor goes through with me. I am always informed if not sure to contact her.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My manager Michelle always gives me time to do this and asks if I need any support with time to complete the units or practicals. I am very grateful as helps when stretched. We look ahead for the commencing week to see where u can find gaps to fit in the units or observations.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My tutor Tracey Lewis is absolutely brilliant, she is really interactive and manages to get me talking and reflecting in my role. Tracey always marks my work and then helps to break down the question so I can add further information on subjects and makes me realise I knew it already but changed the wording.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Ii feel it is a really good learning tool, and really gives me the confidence in my role as an addistant manager. I feel since doing my level 3 and now going straight to my level 5 was great as know what to expect and already in a routine with the work load. I feel it has helped perform and achieve in my role lots and with looking at promotion.
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
