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

As Digital Accessibility Analyst I perform regular testing of company digital products, including webpages, documents and mobile apps, as well as internal colleague systems. I also advocate for accessibility throughout the company, supporting with training events and awareness sessions. As well as the above I also support with ad-hoc administrative tasks.

I've learnt a lot about accessibility throughout the course, how to test and remediate issues, accessible design, security considerations, project management and also developed my communication skills and improved my overall confidence.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The course was well structured, with each module given appropriate level of time and effort. There were a couple of issues with some parts being too early however the feedback looks to have been taken on board for future cohorts.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

My employer has supported me at every step of my apprenticeship, providing me with more than ample time to complete my studies while doing the modules, and then during the end point assessment period. The whole team has been approachable and available for any support that I've needed throughout.

The training provider has been very supportive throughout my experience, especially Sneha, and I've been afforded lot of time by Dimple while preparing for the various assessments during the end point assessments.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I have utilised the skills that I've learnt while on the course into my day-to-day job, and it has given me the confidence I need to be able to perform my duties effectively.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
