Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves alot of admin, keeping track of our mobile plant fleet, onboarding new suppliers and maintaining new supplier set ups.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I think that they are very thorough about teaching you the correct content but sometimes can become a bit onerous with all the additional work that isn't related to the actual content
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have learned what procurement actually is and what it is used for within a corporate organisation
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
You receive a lot of support from the training provider but I would say that the content and revision sessions are delivered too early in the exam season sometimes 2 months in advance
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
