  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was responsible for managing and overseeing technical events which game with great responsibility.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have learnt have been invaluable and they are skills you cannot pick up from reading a book. It will be great assistance to me in my final year of university.
