Although I have been a manager for some time there are a lot of things which I did not know and only came to know through this course. Everything was useful. This is honestly the best support I have received to help me achieve. The assignments not only helped with my current employment but with also my future goals. Access skills has honestly been the best team of people I have come across in terms of educational support. No matter what circumstances I was going through they were there to support me, and I found this to be the most rewarding course I have ever done as it’s made me come out of it knowing I really can do anything I focus on.

My improved skill set and knowledge will enhance my performance and make me an engaging manager. I think the flow of the program was engaging and logical. I thoroughly enjoyed my training. I have improved my skills and knowledge set.

I have learned a lot from completing the course. It has increased my knowledge in areas such as supervisions and performance management. I found all of the course useful. I feel more advice could be given in the booklets for each task. More guidance on how to approach questions. You have been very supportive throughout COVID. Thank you for everything, you have been very flexible. Please thank all the team for me.

My understanding of the sector and its requirements has greatly improved. The course is practical, l was able to implement some things as l progressed. Completing the course has given me confidence, knowledge and a support network. The course is well structured with good content.

Have gained lots of knowledge and how to source advice when needed. Learnt how to critically analyse more efficiently. Can't think of anything, everything was helpful. Particularly enjoyed the workshop/ book sessions, more of those from beginning would have been good. Thank you for all the support and help, especially during the pandemic.

Through working and getting more training to improve myself. Everything on the course has been useful. I practice what I learned on the course at work. The course was right for my needs.
