  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I've learnt loads of new skills throughout my time and developed new ones. Particularly, my job has helped me develop my communications skills through exposure of all teams. This has also helped my teamwork skills as well as managing people and resources. My job is busy and changes on a day to day basis so organisation skills are key

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I am absolutely loving my programme! I learn off the job at university during classes the theory, which I am then able to go back to the workplace and apply. This also develops my understanding further where I have already learnt the practical and then go on to discovering the theory

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It's structured okay overall. A lot of the time the units overlap meaning we are learning two different things at once which can get confusing. Also, it means that deadlines overlap and when having a full time day job along side, this can be stressful. This would be an opportunity to improve

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My employer is very supportive in my course in terms of the job training. I am given 20% dedicated to completing my degree. This is handy as a side from the time spent in university, it also gives me some free space to complete my assignments and carry out research

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Moderate. This all depends on the unit and the tutor. Some tutors are amazing and go above and beyond to help you (within reason, it's a degree after all that requires a lot of self study). Others are not as helpful and leave you to crack on with it

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • As previously mentioned, the theory I learn I am able to apply to my role practically so it's definitely helped me perform better in my role. It has also helped me gain an understanding of myself and what I'm like to work with. Having an awareness of yourself and how you impact others is key

  • 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.)
  • My workplace does not offer any extra-curricular activities so this does not apply. We have no sports teams, no professional networking event opportunities (that I am aware of anyway). We have the annual christmas do which is great fun and makes you feel part of the wider team - a good chance to catch up
