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

    • I learnt something new every day! Being in an office environment is a shock to the system after studying for so long. So it was really useful being in a professional environment and learning what is acceptable in the different situations I came across. I had the opportunity to go on wide range on training courses throughout the whole of the year which were interesting.
