[This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is an asset to the business! Her support was amazing, from day 1 she was there to help me. Even through failing my maths exam 3 times she was able to get me focused right to end! I could not have done it without her!
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel I have more confidence in my role. I am able to make decisions and not second guess myself, I have learnt how to change my style to suit my audience and believe this alone has helped me massively!
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
Branch Managers conference happens once a year and I attended my first one in Feb 2025.
