    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • We are told that personal qualities required include excellent literacy and numeracy skills, self confidence, an enthusiastic and positive approach, and the ability to both work as part of a team and to communicate effectively at all levels. Honestly, I don't have perfect scores for all the qualities above yet after learning many things from the placement, I would agree that things really do change.
