Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Work with professional teams to support real projects and contribute to organisational improvement. Involves gathering and understanding requirements, analysing processes and data, supporting project delivery, documenting findings, collaborating with teams. Part of the week involves dedicated study time.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I'm finding value in the learning and development it offers, and I appreciate the practical experience I'm gaining. However, there are still areas where the programme could improve to make the experience more engaging or better aligned with my expectations.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I've gained several new skills while also strengthening existing ones.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Structure is ok but it has been difficult to align placements with Business Analysis. It has been difficult to apply learning and develop skills at times.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
Managers and colleagues always willing to help and support if and when issues arise.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Qualification is generic but fundamental to any IT professional regardless of specialism.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Many opportunities to attend to
