  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Very well with modules and workshops throughout the month and at the end a meeting with my trainer to discuss everything i have learned over the month and prep for the next month. It has been very set out and in an order that makes sense so far its been great.

  • I have a fellow colleague who is further ahead on the course by about a year. This means i can go to him and ask for help and guidance at any time. My managers have been extremely supportive so far and are willing to help in any way they can.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I am currently a supervisor looking to step up into management so the course is giving me many skills which i can take into work to help myself perform better in my current role and also step up to a management role and excel in it hopefully in the near future.

  • 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 work in a very local pub so apart from the more management side of events we do not have much. Last year i went on a company even to the food college in birmingham for the new menu cook off and tasting. This involved the whole brand of head chefs, general managers and assistant managers so i was lucky to get the opportunity.
