Rating

9.1/10

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

My role as a 360 consultant involves gaining exposure to all departments within consulting and developing skills necessary for when I choose to specialise in a department. I currently work in unstructured analytics which has put me into the world of trader surveillence

10/10

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

Coding, powerpoint, networking, soft skills in general such as presenting, understanding client needs, work life balance

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I think it is really good as you do not have to commit to working in a particular field until you are 3 years down the apprenticeship and it gives me a level 4 and level 7 qualifications whilst getting exposure to how the profession works. You are essentially treated like a graduate.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

They have people responsible for different things in your apprenticeship which is good. For example the exams and lectures for my qualification are booked for me. I can go to my resourcing manager for work, or my performance manager for general enquiries about my department..

10/10

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

All the resources are provided it is up to you how well you do

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

A lot beyond lecturers. The tutors have a space for any questions which they answer within 48 hours

10/10

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

It helps me understand the foundation of businesses and how they operate however not as much as a consultant more or less does not have qualifications but rather gets industry knowledge

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 pretty much everything.
