Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work in the catering business supplying healthy nutritious meals to school children. I am a middle manager supporting 20 sites. I do budgeting, invoicing, client meetings and many other tasks.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
It was a great experience and i felt supported all the way through. I would highly recommend Babington if anyone is looking for a great provider of training where ample support is available.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes both. I have been able to improve on my previous knowledge but i have also learnt many new skills and theories to use. My tutor was fantastic in supporting me through and i feel much more confident now as a manager as i look for progress further in my roll. My main barrier was confidence and having difficult conversations but i now feel much more confident and have been given the tools to use.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme was really well structured and each unit followed on well from the previous one. I was able to use my learnings from each section to better support he next task. I was confident when entering the final stage of project management as i felt i was equipped with all the tools i needed.
