Working in different departments and learning new skills regulary.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
A good uni/work balance with something new regularly

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I am always learning new skills. I am kept busy, which allows me to learn all the time completing various tasks

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
its been clear since the start what modules and how long it would take. Some uni work has been bigger then expected and I felt it did not need to be this long and felt like a waste of time
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Plenty. Always offered help or reviews of my work to keep me on track
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
regular one to one meetings are had with module leaders and mentor to give me enough chance to discuss issues
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
i feel most of my knowledge i have developed at work, not university. Some modules i have completed have been very useful and helped me develop. But there has been 3/4 modules where I have learned nothing and felt like I was set work for the sake of it
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
there are some events offered and social events
