I learned a lot about project management and business transformation.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
While the day to day work hasnt been affected very much, the work i did on the apprenticeship led to significant benefits for my account at the time due to changes i made to a key process. While the outcome was the same and the process was never broken, the apprenticeship gave me the skills and knowledge to frame the problem in a way that got us the resources that helped to streamline and improve our existing ways of working.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
