Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My day to day role consists of research and development towards security operations procedures. Sometimes Involves model based system security diagrams. Sometimes involves OSINT and sometimes involves hands on implementation of security features
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

The Work side of the program is structured perfectly, the structure provided by the provider again is questionable
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
An unbelievable amount of support, they want you to succeed!
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Not an awful lot. Theres one coach at Cranfield who is doing gods work for the year 2's but they cant do an awful lot about the numerous issues people raise.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
at the moment not very well. there's some professional skills modules which are all common sense and I have not learned anything i didnt already know about cyber security in the 2 years so far.
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
Numerous amounts. its and endless list of events happening.
