Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I believe it is well structured however as we are still quite a new programme, there are parts of the programme that are still being looked at in regards to achieving our people management skills.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
So much support! My line manager is amazing and is always going above and beyond to make sure I am ok and if I require any support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There is support however when it comes to feedback on assignments, sometimes it’s not clear as to what I am doing wrong or what exactly needs developing.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me look at situations in a different light and be able to apply the knowledge to every day work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes there are in fact we have the flying start games coming up at the end of May.
