3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoyed the work at sage and everything around the Job, the learning at university was lackluster, everything they wanted to teach was something i had already picked up at A-level or at my job. and the deadlines were not correctly set. the University was also terrible with communication, having maybe 1 meeting outside of University

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The Sage side was very well done, however the University side basically didnt have any organisation

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

they respond to e-mails, and answer questions when we go into university, however they were quite bad at responding to manager and marking work

4/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

it doesnt, i learnt everything i know at work with little to none of it coming from the provider, the course tried to cover too many topics and as a result didnt actually help me understand any of it

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
