I developed existing skills including EHS management system fundamentals, auditing and was able to use my creativity for projects.

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The programme was okay and built on knowledge I already had. However due to multiple issues with the provider there were times I Felt forgotten and left to my own devices. The course had zero taught aspects and I basically self taught myself on everything.

5/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I found it was not structured well for myself.

4/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

My direct line manager has been very supportive and has helped with various aspects. I felt I learned more from my manager than I did from the course itself.

10/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

The last tutor who took over as my tutor for the programme was lovely and did try her best but for the majority of the programme I felt I received next to no support for the course.

It helped refresh previous knowledge.
