Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
1/5
My role has changed massively from what I have done in the past to what I am doing now. I mainly look at monthly applications at the moment.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
Due to uni day and training programme clashes I haven't had much time on the actual training programmer but from what I experienced it was okay.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
Yes, but it's been fairly slowly and sometimes can be difficult to find someone to teach you a specific skill.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Training sessions are planned well, just unlucky if it falls on your uni/study day
The uni side is very poor
The actual work side is okay

Outside of internal training, very little.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Qualification provides the foundational skills required.
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
Yes, but seniors (level) don't attend it's usually a mix of apprentices, grads and assistant grade level
