Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Admin assistant mainly supporting the Environmental, Health & Safety department. This involves diary management, e-mail communications, regular safety bulletins, support with data analysis and training matrix development.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
The programme was okay and built on knowledge I already had. However due to multiple issues with the provider there were times I Felt forgotten and left to my own devices. The course had zero taught aspects and I basically self taught myself on everything.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I developed existing skills including EHS management system fundamentals, auditing and was able to use my creativity for projects.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
I found it was not structured well for myself.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My direct line manager has been very supportive and has helped with various aspects. I felt I learned more from my manager than I did from the course itself.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
The last tutor who took over as my tutor for the programme was lovely and did try her best but for the majority of the programme I felt I received next to no support for the course.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
It helped refresh previous knowledge.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Work runs several corporate social responsibility events throughout the year, as well as an annual employee summer get together and occasional quiz nights.
