  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My programme was structured well. Points of improvement could be more awareness from BPP to know the role you are doing as I did face a few issues with this as they did not understand my role.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • There are calls that happen often and that can be helpful. One-to-One with coaches can also be helpful and there was support however when facing issues it could be tough to find a solution.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I think that the qualification I took was tailored more around a customer facing role where as in my role we did a lot of the behind the scenes work so getting the customer facing pieces of work done was tough.
