I felt it was poorly organised as I had 4 different trainers and each one managed to lose most of the work I had done apart from my last 2 trainers.

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

I would say a medium level of support

7/10

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

It depended on the trainer I had at the time. It more seemed like they were under pressure from their line manager to get it finished more than being concerned for me as a learner

I would say it has mildly improved my capabilities as a manager and managing people, most of my learning was whilst working in the new roles
