  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

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

    • Certainly. I first heard of AWE when my previous employer mentioned they had a outstanding training academy and was recommended by several individuals to apply.

    • Unimaginable, it has changed my life entirely.

    • Some of the units, in my qualification, are slightly different than my job role hence the lower score. I believe that they could be more relevant.

    9/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend AWE to a friend?
