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

    • Most days I had just the right amount of work, some days I had too little but this gave me the opportunity to ask for work.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I felt like I was given just the right amount of responsibility, they opperate a do, check, review system so you know if you have done something wrong, it will get picked up before it affects other things.

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

    • Every time I was given something new to do it was always explained really well, although I wish there would have been more training on how to do the more technical aspects of the role.
