Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My job role is a receptionist and I thoroughly enjoy my job, talking to customers and getting to know their needs.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Gives me something to do during the boring parts of my shift, keeps my brain going.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed my spelling as my autocorrect is not working, and I have to rely on previous knowledge for my punctuation.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Fairly organised, it’s easy to find someone to help you should you need it.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My line manager is quite helpful with any queries I have in regards to expanding my knowledge.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A fair amount, the door is always open should I need the assistance though I don’t always feel the need for it.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I do already know how to do my job, so it’s more of a refresher of knowledge.
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
None that I’m aware of or that is communicated to me.
