Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role sits within the valuation department. We undertake residential driven valuations for tax, loan security and enfranchisement purposes.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my direct team leaders and the apprentice and graduate colleagues.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
In my second year, I have developed existing skills to a higher level rather than necessarily developing new skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The programme was initially extremely well structured but has become less hands on since.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive good support from my direct team and individuals more so than the wider training programme.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
As aforementioned, I receive very good support from my direct team but less so from the graduate team.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think that my qualification has little impact upon my job role. The qualification is extremely commercially focused.
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
I partake in Football, Hockey and professional networking events.
