Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Client liason, internal IT help, marketing, data analysis, gas testing
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
Aside from using an hour earlier session to ask for my Google account and salary, it is good. Each lecture and lecturer has pros and cons, but that isn't unique to this course.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Some digital media creation skills, some theories on colour and marketing.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Some lecturers have never seen the slides before, and have 0 volume control.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I recieve support, but the expectations are high and deadlines come from sever levels higher.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Minimal. I have asked for minimal too.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
As I am not trained in marketing, so the marketing qualification will help me perform my role better.
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
No. Surprisingly enough, work is full of work, and I have a qualification to earn outside that.
