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

Reading new functionality documents, creating test scripts that will confirm the functionality exists and is working as expected, capture evidence for those scripts and make amendments during review

8/10

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

Many skills, I have became a lot more confident so my communication and working under pressure skills have improved greatly. I am able to efficiently organise and work effectively along with becoming more analytical

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The university part can become hectic but can be manageable if you are organised. The university assessments could be better fitted around our work. Doing in person exams are not beneficial when we already have a job so there’s no need to compare students

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Generally good, it’s mentioned there’s a framework for pay and progression but this is very broad. Many departments pay a lot higher if your a degree apprentice in comparison to others so there’s a pay gal
