Training Administrator Review

I really enjoyed my placement with the company because I was learning and earning at the same time. I believe the colleagues and tasks were of importance and challenging made the placement more enjoyable.

I was placed in a major role within the organisation, with weekly reviews where I gained recognition from my manager. Working as a member of the department I felt encouraged to do more and the work that was completed was ackowledged.

I had a weekly 1:1 review and a 3 month appraisal system. At each of these I received feedback with good attributes listed along with room for improvement. My manager and team supported me in my development throughout the placement very well.

I was busy throughout the majority of my placement, with room for a breather from time to time.

I was given a massive responsibility within the company which put me in charge of training delivery of a vital department, which the business was demanding. This enabled me to work as an individual and as part of a team through leading meetings and presentations.

I believe that my confidence, presentation, organisational, stress management and team building skills developed will assist me in my final year at Oxford Brookes University and help me finding work thereafter.

The general atmosphere in the office was upbeat, we were always interacting with one another having a laugh while completing tasks to deadlines.

The placement was organised, However, I was moved from one placement to another which made me feel unsettled

I had a lot of support mechanisms which reduced the amount of training and investments that were made in me. I did receive some basic training in Excel and the in built systems BMW currently use. Furthermore, the first month of me joining the company I was very supportive and gradually allowed me to learn along the way.

I have heard that I made a very good impact in the company, along with the company requiring students with ambition and a graduate placement and apprenticeship schemes the future looks promising.

The social scene was good; we had an event’s organiser which presented us with leaving parties, birthday parties and festive evenings out.

The cost of living in the Oxford area is reasonable, I lived at home which made it cheaper than most. The average student said that some aspects of living was quite expensive but generally worth it.

The night life I heard was good; again living in Oxford I was aware of clubs, but being a Muslim girl didn't really participate with these activities.

Yes, myself and some of the girls from the office went out on a regular basis to local shopping centres and cafe's to relax and do some retail therapy.
