  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy the courswork, I think it's very interesting and supports my job a lot. I receive support from the training team in Anchor but not so much from Babcock which has meant I have fallen behind in my coursework as I haven't received the work needed to continue

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • the coursework is very structured and I find easy to follow, the structure from my external trainer (babcock) has not helped me excel in my course work, which has slowed down the process for my course as the work I've been asked to do has not been very structured

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I receive a lot of support from my team, as several members are in the process or have completed their CIPD which has helped me increase my quality of work. My colleagues have also supported me and helped to the best of their ability and provided guidance and advise in the process

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • the support I have received from my trainer (babcock) is limited, when I do my 1-1 with my trainer the support is sufficient but contacting via email is a struggle as I often don't get responses, which doesn't help when I need to move on to a different module or ask for support.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • the course has helped me get a better understanding of HR and what HR is involved in, it's helped me improve my work and helped me provide better support to my colleagues. Doing this apprenticeship will help me be better at my job as I will be qualified and gives me the option to receive more training
