Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
day to day running of the shift in a retail environment.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
1/5
The course as a whole felt like a "hoop to jump through" since I already carry a level 3 in management.
Skills Development

Developed existing skills. I had over 20 years of customer service experience, and 15 years of management experience before starting this course.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very organised course, just felt a little pointless to me
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
This side of the course was very good, I was given a full day every week to work on my course.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I received as much support as I needed
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
I already had a level 3 in management, combined with over 15 years managerial experience.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Not that I am aware of.
