  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Everyday's a school day both at work and in my personal life! I have to carry out a minimum of 16 hours of professional development each year to maintain my practicing certificate and due to the restructure of the business last year I have been given responsibility for people management, which is all new to me.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I really enjoy the programme

    9/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • It's very well structured. I like using the BUD platform - it helps me keep track (even if to remind me I'm behind!). I get a lot out of the regular workshops and the catchups with my tutor

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

    • My line manager supports my participation in the program

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

    • It helps me work out what I am already doing and focus on what I should be doing as well as areas for improvement as people management is all new to me

    9/10
  • 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.)

    • I have been working from home since March 2020, so there haven't been anything like this recently. However, one of my colleagues is organising a Three Peaks challenge for the summer when (hopefully) we can get back out again in a group - I've signed up
