Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
My programme is very well organised. If I get stuck on anything or don't understand anything all it takes is a quick email to my tutor and she sets me back on the right path or tells me where I went wrong or explains how a question is worded.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer is very supportive. She is constantly letting me know how well I'm doing and that's she happy for me that I'm doing my course. She gives me encouragement a lot and reminds me that she is on hand if I need to ask her anything or speak to her about anything.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider is very supportive towards me. She reminds me that she only an email, text message or phone call away if I need to speak to her or if I need to ask her advice on anything I'm working on. She is constantly challenging me as well in maths and English to ensure I get the best marks I can.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification is helping me to look at certain situations in more detail or differently which in turn is helping me to improve my skills all the time.
In my role every day is different and every service user is different , so the constant learning definitely helps me and improves how I perform my role.

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
We don't have sports teams or networking events, but I sometimes go out to lunch with several colleagues so we get to know each other on a personal level and we can discuss our day/job.
