3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy my programme. My day to day role is very interesting and my team are very welcoming and easy to learn from. The davies learning is the only part of the programme i struggle to enjoy as I believe a lot of the tasks are not relevant and boring.

6/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

My programme is pretty well organised due to the fact i face both on the job learning as well as learning via the exam part of the role. However I wish I was able to spend more time on exams rather than focusing on irrelevant Davies admin

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

I receive a moderate amount of support towards my exams such as workshops, 1 to 1 sessions and also group coaching sessions. The timing of the programme has been a problem with me due to the fact they do not really take into consideration when I am severely busy in my day to day role
