  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoyed the programme very much. It was useful to learn the skills I require to progress in my career, and interesting to learn of other skills that might be of interest later down the line.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Firebrand was very well organised. I was able to follow assignment structures and what was expected of me. AdviserPlus chose a somewhat unsuitable role for me to get the most out of the programme at first, and experienced staffing issues to begin with, which affected my learning.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • At the start of the course, support from my employer was sparse. However, once staff changed, the support I received was fantastic. Not only my in work mentor, but the entire team were on hand to assist, advise, and teach me where needed.
