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

I have learnt a lot of new skills since starting this course. I have attending property management courses and learnt about the legal side of my job role. I have also learn a lot through this programme as before undertaking this course I had no experience with staff performance management and I have now dealt with this. I have also been exposed to a lot more financial information due to this course and undertaking the financial module.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have found this course very worthwhile and I have really enjoyed the learning. The only problem is that I had such a large break between switching providers which didn't help with revising etc. Although this was no fault of paragon, it was due to Qube going into administration.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I believe it is structured very well however due to the gap in the middle, it then felt very hard to get direction again after a 1 year break and with a new provider.
