Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Very enjoyable and engaging. Good balance between theory and practical elements and a fantastic support network for any issues or concerns I've had along the way. Theory can be a little bit overwhelming but if you put in the work at the academy and seek help when you need it, you'll fly through it.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Its great, just personally struggle with some of the theory elements.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Loads. And ongoing.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
There has been a fair bit of miscommunication and the group I am training with feel as though our group has been kind of pit the side. Until recently we haven't had a consistent trainer, and our designated trainer hasn't been very present.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Good
