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

I am a junior content producer and I create bespoke online learning content, for other learners to use to help with their learning. Pieces of content I make include Rise Courses, Interactive storyline courses and I also make banners and buttons that are then put on itslearning courses home pages.

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

Yes, I have learnt lots of new skills around content creation. As well as learning new software to help with my content. I have learnt how to edit videos, as well as create informative animations that will be used on our rise courses we make or as a stand alone piece.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have really enjoyed my program. I felt my sessions were very informative but also engaging. The people that ran the course and my tutors were all lovely and extremely helpful. They helped me achieve a distinction on my EPA which I am very proud of. But overall I have thoroughly enjoyed my time.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I felt the programme was structured really well. My tutor was aware of the criteria I need to hit as well my tutor that taught our sessions as he would get us to create content that would tick off criteria also. I also had regular 1-2-1 with my tutor to discuss my progress.

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

I received a lot a support from my employer. I have regular meetings with my manager, to make sure that I am okay. If I need help with anything they are always help me with it. And I am not afraid to ask them any questions that I may have.

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

My training provider has offered me lots of support. I had regular 1-2-1's to check my progress, as well as help me with case studies that will be used for my portfolio. Towards my EPA date I had multiple meetings with my tutor to make sure I was okay and ready for my upcoming EPA.

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

I think my qualification helps me preform better in my job role, as I have learnt skills that I wouldn't have otherwise. Through my qualification I became really familiar with Canva. I learnt how to do things I probably wouldn't have known about otherwise on Canva, which I now use when creating content.

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.)

We have professional networking events, like when I attended the Green Skills Academy opening. We also have social events with my team, where we will go out for celebrations and meals as a team, either when it's someone's birthday and other celebrations similar to that. We also have a Christmas party.

Yes

I would recommend The Growth Company as a training provider, as they helped me achieve my goal of getting a distinction. My tutor were very supporting and helpful and were always there if I had any questions. They also offer a lot of support by making sure you have a meeting every couple of weeks.
