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

I work mainly on active travel projects, helping to form reports and completing audits. I also work on HS2 with traffic count reporting. I spend a lot of time on GIS creating maps and learning how to use data.

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

Of course I've learnt new skills. I'm getting much more experience using GIS now and I have increased my knowledge of using Word professionally. I have of course also picked up loads of things relating to transport.

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

It depends on the subject area. I have worked on some things before I have learnt about them, but I have found when I learn about it first I am able to go further with it at work and be more confident talking about it.
