Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

Includes, raising rfqs and purchase orders, lot of reports and analysis

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I enjoy the work life balance, however I do not enjoy the CIPS side of things. I much prefer the working side of things rather than the education side of it. I learn more by actually working in my role.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Learned a lot of IT skills and terminology

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

For me personally it has been really organised and structured and have manged to cover off a great detail of experience

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

receive full support from my employer. very happy with the support given.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

2/5

the sessions that are done are over webex, this is not an ideal way of learning and feel not motivated or engaged to the sessions provided when its been taught from a web cam. They do try their best but I find it chaotic.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

2/5

There is sometimes relevance to the role but if being honest it is very rare. It will only be brought into the role if there is a colleague who has done the qualification in the past and they are normally ex apprentices themselves.
