Reprographics Technician and Faculty Administrator Review

My role involves producing large amounts of resources for other staff, as well as providing administrative support to the PE department.

I have taught myself a lot about excel through using the program, as well as various other applications the school uses for finance, ordering, communication, IT, etc. I have learned practical reprographics skills through experience.

I enjoy my work, and the learning I have done with LSP. I have been disappointed by a lack of employer training and general input on my development.

The LSP program started off a bit poorly as it took a long time to hear from, then to meet, my tutor. Since then the training has been very organised and easy to understand.

Very little. The staff at my workplace are friendly and supportive for the most part, but my managers are mostly absent and have not considered my training whatsoever.

None. They have not made any attempt to understand what I'm working on and have fobbed me off when I ask for help. I have done all of my coursework alone as I have no mentor or anyone assigned to help.

The qualification has been helpful in giving me a greater understanding of the scope and effect of my administrative role. It has also helped me reflect on and reinforce what I have learned through experience.

There are no 'official' extra curricular activities aside from the Christmas party, but there are independent groups of employees who do activities together. I would have liked to have joined the hiking group but unfortunately this has not yet been possible with the lockdown.

No

The management and most teaching staff give little consideration towards support staff.

Don't unless they're going to pay you well.
