Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt lots of new skills, some more basic and some more advanced. I have learnt about key areas of SHE, reviewing drawings, looking at technical details, quality to expect and how to speak to sub-contractors regarding their works.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

I believe it is very well structured as I do day release which I prefer to doing a block release as I can take my learning into the following day at work or vise versa.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I feel my training helps me perform better in my role as they cover similar subjects and my qualification covers all topics I am required to know about and I can take my learning into my job and also learning from my job into my university.
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 there are CPD's I can attend at work.
