I enjoyed doing the research and being able to have the chance to spend time in other departments and learning more through my coach and pushing me to get the Distinction
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I learnt new skills within another department of the business I did not think I would be capable of doing. Being more experienced within the branch allowing me to help in all sectors.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Very well organised, I would prefer better on the webinars as they were just reading out the slideshow without much actual knowledge on the subject.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
It had been very hit and miss throughout as we had very little management within but with the new manager I had full support and was allowed the time to spend alone in the office or WFH to be able to get all caught on what I was behind.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
All support from [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] was brilliant, I had a few downs throughout and was going to quit but she managed to help me get through and muster up to get it finished. Couldn't ask for more
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
This has helped me to become more confident with talking to customers about their jobs and to know the correct questions to ask when talking to them.
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
Nothing that I am aware of but can look into this, as a branch we do have social gatherings and go out for meals but nothing outside of the branch I am aware of.
