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

    • Delivering projects that will improve the user experience. This involves researching, wireframing, designing, testing, and communicating with stakeholders.

    1/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have learned how to create wireframes and prototypes on Figma. I have learned how to use a design system library on Figma.

    4/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I do not enjoy have university lectures online because in person works best. I want Northumbria University and QA to make the learning in person.

    1/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Horribly organised. There is one skills coach to 50-100 apprentices. There is not much support. Professors do not reply to emails and just read off a PowerPoint.

    1/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Minimal, unless I asked.

    1/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Just enough. They only do the bare minimum.

    1/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • It helps now and then. It can improve in being more practical and up to date.

    1/10
  • 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.

    4/10

    • Very little support and care given to apprentices.
