Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I would say that the organisation of the programme is good between working at Motability Operations and going to SGS college in Filton. I am learning many things within both aspects of the programme with working and being in college doing the work and revision needed.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have an amazing amount of support from everyone if help is needed, whether it is from someone in my team or someone else from another team. Everyone in Motability Operations is really helpful with any questions or queries I may have and are always happy to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
When in college, if there is any questions asked or if I need more help to understand something more clearly, my training provider is always more than happy to take the time and help go through anything that I or any other classmate needs help with.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
As of yet within the qualification, I wouldn't say a mass of the work has been able to help me perform better in my role as obviously I am towards the start of the programme. But as time goes on I feel that this will increase my performances.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes there are multiple extra-curricular activities that we are able to get involved in. For example, on Wednesday (19/03/25), we had a team building session and have a chance to meet and talk to people we usually wouldn't see and we went to this venue to cook.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Motability Operations to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would 100% recommend Motability Operations to a friend because the environment is really friendly, everyone is good to talk to and you can get on well with everyone, if you need any help with anything there will always be someone to offer the help you may need.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Motability Operations?
The tips or advice that I would give to others that apply to Motability Operations, would to not be nervous or not feel the need to ask too many questions about anything that you may not be so sure with. I was told to ask as many questions to understand things better, which I did and it's better to be sure of something rather than still question things.
