Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
College is shambolic at best. Delivery of course isn't the best and facilities are poor.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
No.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
Terribly. There has been a lot of trouble to do with assignments, corrections, retractions, new versions to deal with.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Very Supportive
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Onefile experience feels like an add on that is not required.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It's not completely applicable to my role. Its in the correct field but there is little transferrable. However the qualification is required for progression.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes, plenty of options.
