Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am a buying administrator which means I am the admin for a buyer/ multiple buyers. I prepare and submit deals, action amendments, manage samples from buyers, communicating with vendors and building relationships etc.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I'm coming to the end of my programme now and i have thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who was thinking about applying.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt how to deal with and speak to vendors on a day to day basis and also in more difficult situations where we have to be more sensitive. I have also exceeded my skills in excel, as when i first started i could barely use it.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
At the beginning, my programme wasn't very structured as we had a lot of change with dates for our FRA sessions which got a bit confusing. But, for office based structure my programme was super well organized and i was learning something new pretty much everyday.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer, whether that's with the day to day job role, interests into what i want to do once i have finished my programme etc.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have received a lot of support from the FRA, I have now finished there but I always felt like i could reach out if i needed to for any support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Through FRA I learnt a lot about buying and merchandising which overall has helped me in my day to day job role,
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes there are loads, i haven't personally got involved, but there are many teams like football and netball
