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

    • I'm a store manager so my role can be quite varied, dealing with large teams of 100+. My role involves budget planning, commercial decisions, stock ordering, HR, people & culture, strategy, rolling out central initiatives & projects.

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

    • Yes, so many new skills. My coaching has really levelled up, I haven't finished my course yet but already have a much better understanding of what good coaching looks like and how I can use it in my role.

    9/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I really enjoy my programme, I find the course content interesting and the delivery varied with 1-2-1 sessions, online workshops and digital self paced content. I like the flexibility of the content and being able to come back to things later if I want more time to process the information etc.

    9/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Seems to be well organised although I have nothing to compare it to.

    9/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • My employer supports me as much as they need to, but the ownership really sits with myself to make the time for my learning.

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

    • As much as I need, and I know I can reach out to my learning coach whenever needed.

    9/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • I think it has made me a much better coach, and ultimately a better leader. I feel more competent in my coaching skills and can use them to get the most out of our people.

    9/10
  • 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.)

    • Not really
