To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I had a very supportive tutor, always on the end of the phone if I needed her and able to 'bounce off' ideas. The bud system was easy to use too.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Learned a lot more in relation to government legislation and how this impacts company policy and procedures
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Almost too structured, there were times that I could have gotten on with more work but had to wait to submit in relation to funding. In the remit there are less busy periods that could've counteracted the more busy busy periods.

My line manager and learning manager have been very supportive throughout and especially at EPA .

It has helped me to understand that I am good at my job and keep the imposter syndrome at bay.

As a managers group we have social get togethers once a month. Team building days for the team, games and interactive quizzes in team meetings. Professional speed networking in the local area
