    10/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I did enjoy the programme and thought the content was good. It was difficult to fit tasks and course work in around the demanding day job.

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

    • I found the structure and delivery of the programme to be very good.

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

    • My training provider allowed me to gain experience in the key areas by actively providing me with opportunities to learn.

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

    • I think it has really helped expose me to some additional aspects of leadership and project management that I might not have experienced if not for the programme. As a result, this has upskilled me quite a bit.

    10/10
  • 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.)

    • Yes, there are team-based activities and socials but these were obviously impacted by Covid and the move towards hybrid working - but those opportunities are certainly there.

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

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It's a great company and they really invest in their staff and look after you.
