Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My role is to line manage a group of professionals BA's and developers to deliver technology and automation change
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
The apprenticeship was excellent with superb support from the provider Corndel. The quality of 1-2-1 time i had with them was superb and that continuity has enabled me to pass with distinction

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have learnt a number of new skills as a result of participating in the apprenticeship, however it is more the growth in my confidence that I would especially point to

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme was extremely well structured and enabled a clear pathway through to completion
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
From my line manager the support I received was excellent and without doubt has got me through the apprenticeship. From the wider business I'm afraid that there has been no communication from when I started which was also true when i completed a previous apprenticeship at level 5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Excellent all round well structured support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It has given me a much better understanding of people, especially my team and how I can support them better in their roles. It has also taught me to look strategically at what we are doing and my role in 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.)
4/5
