    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was in two different teams on my placement. The first team were made me feel very valued and an important part of the team. In the other team I was given easier, tedious work to complete.

    4/5

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    4/5

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

    • The placement was very well organised with RSA having previous links and experience with placement students from Surrey University.

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was given good training in all of the packages and computer programs that I had to use, just as much as any other employee. I was also given a lot of meetings with mangers and supervisors, one on one, to check my progress.
