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

    • My daily activities change depending on the current projects I am involved with. I look into various security incidents whilst also using a variety of security tools and technologies.

    9/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Yes, I have learnt lots of new skills whilst developing upon the ones I already possess.

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

    • Some bits were enjoyable and I felt were beneficial, whilst other bits not so much.

    6/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Its well organised, however some of the learning resources could be improved. I also found a few spelling mistakes in the material which I raised with my DLC at the time.

    6/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Lots of support from my second DLC. Would rate higher, however my first DLC wasn't overly helpful.

    • A good amount.

    8/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • To a certain degree, however lots of what I covered is more knowledge based and not relevant to my day to day activities.

    8/10
  • 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.)

    • I don't believe so. Rating 5 for neutrality

    5/10
