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

I feel that my communication skills have grown massively. I have learnt a lot from my level 4 but feel my understanding of good communication has been the most beneficial within my role.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoyed the moments when something you have been doing for years suddenly clicks and now you have a brand new understanding of how it came about or why it works the way it does. Mostly I have enjoyed working with my tutor who can explain things in such a way that it just makes sense.
