Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Organisation of the programme, can be a bit hectoc, at times as the training provider has not been so reliable. The structure from IBM is very solid though, allowing time for work to be completed.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I recieve plenty of support from my employer, they are always open for catchups and will support with anything that i may ask from them. The communication is as open as you want it to be.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
The support here varies, there are reviews every so ofte. You must seek out support externally but somethings this can be made difficult to the structure if the programme and similar issues such as changing inboxes.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
This work from the training provider is certainly insightful, and does fut my dad to day tasks very well for the most part, especially when i was involved in a more technical role. The sift skills are pointed out from the programme and can be built up during the workplace.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
