Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am a Senior Neighbourhoods Officer in Public Protection covering Antisocial Behaviour and Environmental Crime
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I thoroughly enjoyed the learning! Completing the degree apprenticeship gave me the context behind why the processes we follow are followed in such a way in order to protect public health.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have both developed existing skills and learnt new skills whilst undertaking the BSc Environmental Health Apprenticeship.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I have enjoyed my time at MDX. The only issue I have found (and raised) is the lack of organisation around timetabling. This is only released a couple of weeks before the academic year commences, meaning it is difficult to plan work commitments in advance becasue you do not know which days you need to be in uni.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has been very supportive.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The programme itself was brilliant. All lectures are super knowledgeable and, most importantly, personable, which gave me confidence to ask lots of questions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I now have a wider understanding and appreciation for Environmental Health.
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
My employer holds annual awards evenings and lots of wellbeing events throughout the year.
