Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

I am the Business Manager for a group of preschools. My role is varied and busy. I oversee all aspects of the business for the Director. On a day to day basis I interact with staff, parents and external professionals.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I really enjoy the programme and being able to learn with like minded professionals. My tutor is great and is always available if needed. Sometimes the pace can feel a little slow but that is a personal opinion.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have developed my existing skills and found the course to be very beneficial already, having only started it 6 months ago. The materials and topics are relevant and have built my confidence greatly.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

The programme is extremely well organised, being given dates for teaching sessions in advance has been beneficial to allow me to manage my time and work. The sessions are also well structured and keep to time.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

My employer is very supportive and allows me to manage my workload and time independently. If I need advice they are always available.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

The support available is continuous. I can reach my tutor easily via email or WhatsApp which is great for a quick response.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

This programme has grown my confidence massively. I am an experienced member of the team but gaining a qualification has boosted my morale and opened my mind to new ways of working.

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

Yes, we have several social events throughout the year. These are attended by all staff which means we get to know each other really well, both in and out of the work environment. We also have social events for our families to attend.
