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

Supporting management role to deliver a project into Operations (BaU). This involves line management of staff and undertaking delivery manager duties including, leading workstreams, reporting / governance and stakeholder management

Academic skills such as report writing, research and improving presentation skills.

The programme is well-structured, the teaching standard lacks consistency and the online interface/portal does cause some user issues, such as accessing the material and finding the learning documents
How much support do you receive from your employer?

My employer has been fantastic. I am given the time to undertake studies and I am given the needed support / opportunities to use what I am learning.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The support is generally good (apart from a recent issue that arose). Tutors and learning mentors have provided much needed support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me understand the theory behind the activity I carry out in my role and sometimes signposts towards different ways of addressing problems.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes, but I do not have the time.
