I really enjoy it, it is role where I can be creative when I can but it's given me a great insight into corporate life. How businesses work and the importance of what we do. There is tons of support around me as well.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

It is very well structured. Although there is a lot of admin. Whenever there is a semester I'm allowed to take a day off for study. I can even flex my hours so I am still visible to the team during team days.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

A lot of support, I learnt about myself personally and mentally so my team/manager has been super supportive. Making sure I'm not overwhelmed and keeping myself on track. I'm very thankful for everything.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

There is a lot of support. It's whether you want the support provided. They do sessions on exam/assignment techniques. Teachers are always willing to help, they host office hours and record everything if we do have questions. The website also has many resources

4/5

Well it's only now where I am thinking about how I can translate skills I gained and learnt during my course and how I can do that at work. Sometimes there's topics that come up that align with work which is always good

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
