Structure and Support
Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role is to provide administrative support for senior managers. My daily tasks consists of diary management, managing stakeholders both internally and externally, ad-hoc tasks such as rearranging meetings when the parties cannot attend, book rooms at very short notice etc. I am also responsible for the stationery ordering for the division, so I have a structure in place whereby I send the team monthly reminders to check the stationery cupboards in their area and replace any item that is missing and to also let me know if we need to buy more items.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I am at the very early stage of the programme and I am still navigating through it. So far I have noticed that the speed of the teaching is a bit far for my learning style but I am waiting to have at least another session to speak to the tutor about it.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
1/5
I am at the very early stages of the programme so it is early for me to comment I am afraid.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The programmes seems to be very organised and the tutor follows the structure that it is in the slides.
However, for my learning style I would appreciate if there were my explanations rather than rushing through the slides.
