Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is well structured, there is a clear structure to my weeks and it helps me to manage my learning and work. However, you have to be very independent and set a lot of the programme up by yourself. Despite this there are multiple people willing to help both from work and the qualification provider.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Whenever you require support it is readily available. However they cannot read your mind so if you do require support it is important you reach out so they are aware if you are having any struggles.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have meetings every 3 months with my manager and a talent coach from my training provider so I can ask any questions. I am also able to ask any urgent questions and receive a response that same week.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Throughout my experience the qualification I am undertaking is linking more and more to my job role. This helps me to perform more efficiently and also helps me gain a deeper undnerstanding.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
We have a good range of activities which you need to seek out to be aware of, otherwise it is unlikely they will reach out and ask if you are interested,
