3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I find it very interesting and feel I am very well supported by my assessor.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is structured very well and I feel I am learning things at a good time to pass this information into my working life. My only feedback would be that I am ahead of my work and feel I would be ready to start my EPA period and qualify, however due to the webinars being weekly and having to attend these I cannot enter this period so I feel I am being slowed down.

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

My course allows me to understand why I am doing certain things in my job, for example the importance of decontamination of instruments, which I am doing in my job, but do not necessarily know why, this is where the course helps as it fills in the gaps in my knowledge.

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 work socials every now and again to help keep the team moral high, for example during last summer we had a picnic and played some rounders which was great|!
