7/10

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

8/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Learning about the business on a bigger scale than just the department I work in currently.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

After the initial week away, we have been left to do the course on our own. It has felt a bit isolated without a route to gather information, nobody to ask anything from. I am not sure if we are doing it right or wrong.

3/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

The 6hrs hours a week feels like it will be a problem very shortly as more people are off on holiday and as the department ramps up, I personally do about 15 hours a week in the library studying.

3/10

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

Not got that far yet.

3/10

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

I am not at manager level currently but I hope this course will eventually lead me onto that role.

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 is, I have in the past been the one who organised these events.
