It's very self led and I think if I wasn't very organised it may be hard to navigate what is involved in the programme. My AOO from UCEM was very helpful though and any questions I had she helped answer.

I do feel I could have been supported better from the ET team and from my team leaders at the time. I went through 4 different ET contacts due to one reason or another, I had 3 different managers during my time with 2 of them constantly pressuring me into completing works as opposed to having some flexibility to complete my university works. I was given a lot more responsibility than I originally was expecting which did speed up my progress but was overwhelming at times. Regarding my RICS APC I will say Kier have been very accommodating (since having my latest manager) for me to have days where I visit different contracts and get the experience needed.

My training provider usually has a Teams meeting with me ever 2-3 months to check-in and see how I'm doing.

I feel like it helps in certain aspects but there is plenty more content that I study which could be better utilised around the business. From a practical delivery stand point the course has been great to help me understand how to manage these processes but in terms of the contractual and procurement side of the course, I do not use this knowledge on a regular basis.

Stable employer who can provide opportunities into the construction industry.
