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

    • It's okay. I'm struggling to learn part of the job but i know that will come. It's also been a slow start which has been difficult. I'm sure it will get better

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

    • Not very well. There are no steps to my on the job learning and there needs to be. I'm doing little jobs but when i'm asked to do something, i can't. The college is awful, they don't teach very well and rush through everything. The college also need a better structure/plan

    4/10

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

    3/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • initially it really helped. It helped me learn the basics of banking, however, now it is causing me stress because i don't understand any of it.

    3/10
  • 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.)

    4/10
