Apprenticeship: Team Leader/Supervisor Level 3
- Job title: Chief Laboratory Technician
- Department: SLCU
- Training provider: Corndel
Why did you choose to do an Apprenticeship?
Although I had supervised people during my post-doctoral work, I hadn’t been formally trained in management and wanted certification for my CV.
What was your experience of the apprenticeship and your training provider?
I found my apprenticeship to be immediately useful and applicable to my current role. Corndel and my tutor, Hannah Cook, were excellent; on the ball, punctual, clear, always at the end of an email.
What went well?
I managed to keep up-to-date or ahead in all my modules allowing me to complete the apprenticeship on time.
What have you learnt?
I have learned a significant amount about management and learning styles and how to build an effective team.
What next?
I am keeping an eye out for other courses which will enhance my CV. I would need to directly line manage more people to become a full CMI member, this may happen one day.
“A very useful apprenticeship with externally awarded certification. Highly recommended. It was a lot of work but ensuring I went to all the workshops and kept to time with modules was key to successful completion.”
