Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Working on different types of accounts and constantly learning, making mistakes along the way but developing my skills in the profession with the help of my colleagues assisting me to improve.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I would say I enjoy it, but there is quite a bit of stress on you performance and personality so it requires you to give it 100% every day.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have developed a lot of new and existing skills throughout this year of the program. The main one is communication, I struggled at the start because typically I am quite a quiet person but I am slowly coming out of my shell. My IT skills have also benefited by working constantly with new technology developing my portfolio.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is structured well, a set plan for the courses you take in College and training while on the job to help you learn and understand what you are doing and progress.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a good amount of support from my employer, its not full so you can just sit there laid back, they give you the essential skills you need to work and if you stuck they will help as it is better to learn by making mistakes.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I believe I receive a very good amount of support from them offering support at work to learn my college work with them to them providing the full course free of charge allowing you to achieve your goals
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I believe that the qualification has helped me understand the work I am doing more and as time goes on and I do more courses it will allow me to develop at a quicker rate and learn new skills to complete jobs.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are a few but the ones I know of are for cultural reasons such as Ramadan and breaking the fast.
