Yes, I think this journey has helped me gain a broad understanding of the subjects and more confidence in my capabilities 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
During my time in the bootcamp, I completed various trainings that helped me develop my professional skills, ethical foundation, and adaptability. These activities included problem-solving tasks, leadership exercises, teamwork scenarios, and ethical discussions.The problem-solving tasks improved my analytical skills, and the teamwork scenarios taught me the importance of collaboration, and ethical discussions reinforced my commitment to integrity and responsibility. For example, during James's session a few weeks ago we completed several problem-solving tasks. One was completed in a 3-person team. This task was to correct a situation where an organisation is releasing a new software to remote locations which had come across software bugs, incompatible hardware, lack of trained staff, and poor connectivity. To complete this task, we had to figure out which problem-solving technique to use, then identify the root causes and propose solutions that would work within a tight deadline, then present them to the class. Overall, these experiences have significantly contributed to my growth as a well-rounded professional. I have developed a solid ethical foundation and an adaptable mindset, which are essential in the ever-evolving digital technology landscape. I recognise the value of continuous professional development and the need to stay updated with industry trends and innovations.

I have unlocked alot of potential in myself especially when it comes to becoming a Network Engineering. The cisco modules taught me a lot however at some times they did get very boring and repetitive. I do feel like I will be successful in my career since I enjoy and understand my network engineering related work the most.

during the last few weeks it has been great, i have developed skills to support me in an ethical foundation and adaptable mindset. Through the behaviours learnt, and how in a working environment there are etiquettes to be done, as well as the variety of knowledge we have been provided etc through the different modules. Even if they are not directly linked to work, they still simultaneously link at the same time? It has been fascinating to see the array of knowledge and information being taught in these bootcamps and getting an insight in every aspect not just from one perspective; really widening my personal knowledge.

Have I developed into a well-rounded professional with a solid ethical foundation and adaptable mindset?

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
I would agree with the statement as over the last 3-4 months I have continually worked to develop my mindset to be more flexible and adaptable, which was especially helped by our last session in November which focused on Entrepreneurial Thinking, Flexibility and Emotional Intelligence. These skills very well set up the mind for looking into and working with new ways of thinking.

4. Have I focused on self management, reflective practice, and problem solving, facilitated through learning journals?

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
At the end of each week, I would make sure I benefit from the resources provided managing my development. I have shown a reflective mindset through my learning journals and my CPD audit.

Do I now possess a deep understanding of effective leadership, the art of social influence and the essentials of digital literacy?

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
The concept of leadership has always been an important buzzword and I thought I knew lots about this topic. The bootcamp taught me even more about the subject and now I would agree with the Question. This was particularly demonstrated on the Leadership and Social Influence session, where we examined styles like transformational and servant leadership. Over the next few weeks, this stuck with me and I tried to identify my preferred style. In the end, I  concluded that a balance of both types would be the most effective.

In the first few boot camp sessions we were taught how to use Gibbs reflected cycle to reflect on events, situations, challenges and activities in the form of a learning journal. I have found these reflections very useful. Completing these reflections after each of our sessions/activities has allowed me to critically think about what I have done, what went well and how I can improve. I have then been able to use these take aways and improvement points and implement them into new activities going forward and in doing so improved my approaches and ways of working.

Focused on self management, reflective practice and problem solving through learning journals

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Learning journals have helped to consolidate learning throughout the boot camp. Writing a summary of the content learnt plus my own thoughts and feelings on that week of uni is more impactful to my learning than just attending live sessions alone. My self-management has improved as the pre and post learning, and keeping up with your learning journal, are all up to you to keep up with in time for your progress review meeting. I've also had to problem solve in order to learn python as the initial learning materials didn't work for me and the live session didn't feel like it was well-tailored to a complete beginner like myself. It wasn't until finding the post-learning Cisco Netacad python course that had a different teaching style that I finally started to understand python.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Yes i have learned and been helped with developing the understanding of leadership and the art of social influence

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Throughout bootcamp, I have focused on my time management to balance work and uni. This means I've made sure I am prioritising the work I am set based on deadlines and importance to make sure I am up-to-date with the course. For example, when completing some of the cisco courses, I found that I would need to take extra time during a work day if I had spare time. However, on these days, when I had work set for me I would make sure to prioritise this as it was not a dedicated uni day. To help me do this, I have ensured I am keeping my learning journal updated so every week I am able to reflect on my progress and make decisions and alter my behaviour based on this. I have also found that the soft skills sessions at the beginning of bootcamp have helped me to stay on top of work, especially with the different problem solving techniques where we were able to identify which method would be beneficial in different scenarios.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
During the bootcamp my emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills have developed greatly, especially after interacting with many other apprentices and lecturers, it has made me confidence in my abilities and my skills overall.

Have I developed a well rounded professional with a solid ethical foundation ...

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Yes I have developed a solid technical background through the various technical courses set by Kyle, however not many of them correlate to my job as a PM. Because of this I find that the lectures that James does more beneficial as they correlate to my job more.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
I found the learning journal to be a valuable tool for reflection and self-improvement. It helped me consolidate what I learned after each taught session, making it easier to retain key points and identify areas where I needed to deepen my understanding. Writing regularly also encouraged me to think about how I could better manage my time, align my efforts with my goals, and recognize my likes and dislikes.

Although I sometimes found the Gibbs format repetitive or struggled to find much to say, it ultimately helped me articulate my thoughts more clearly and reflect more effectively on my experiences.

Have I developed into a well-rounded professional with a solid ethical foundation and adaptable mindset?

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
This was achieved in the Flexibility & Emotional Intelligence (week 6) session. I believe that I have been able to improve upon this ability thanks to the multiple discussions, debates and activities that we have engaged in throughout this bootcamp. For example, the debate about the ethics of AI was very informative and interesting and allowed me to gain a deeper understanding into both sides of AI. Being able to have the opportunity to learn how to develop an adaptable mindset was very helpful, as it will allow me to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
I have  learned to focus my time managment on tasks , like the learning Journals  and the on line  learning , make sure that I do a bit of this everyday , that would working on the netcad or linkin learning or udemy. I have done this by using my calander  and lists to block time and listing tasks to help to keep on task.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Yes, I feel like I have improved my emotional intelligence and am more perceptive about things/people/situations around me. I have had some previous experiences of being in a workplace but being taught the soft skills and how to navigate myself have been a major help. I believe the workshops have set us up well for the next few years. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y

I now understand more about leadership with the different leadership types and what qualities makes someone a good leader, this allowed me to be a better leader when heading up a project at work. I use digital literacy more effectively in the workplace by communicating with people through emails and teams.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Having developed my interpersonal skills and other soft skills, it has been easier to talk with new people i meet whilst at work. Coming straight from school meant I was lacking on professional development, however James' sessions have been helpful.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
I have focused on self management throughout this course. I have ensured that I am completing all tasks within good time and setting out my days to not fall behind. I am creating a good work/college work balance and I am finding it easier as I go to ensure these are not affecting each other. I am keeping my learning journal up to date to be able to reflect on how I feel about each session. I am learning new skills each and every week and being able to bring them to life within my personal and work life. Taking time to reflect is important for me to be able to understand what I am learning and if there is anything further I need to focus on to improve going forward. I am hoping to continue to further these skills within the future to become more confident in myself.

1. Have I developed into a well-rounded professional with a solid ethical foundation and adaptable mindset?

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Overall I have, the wide range of modules and topics covered has provided a solid foundation in Digital Technology Solutions, from Python to Cybersecurity. This has provided a decent background knowledge on topics not only required for work directly, but to operate effectively in the ever changing landscape. On top of this, the sometimes haphazard structure of the bootcamp has really developed an adaptable mindset as I have had to adjust what I am doing when something unexpected has occurred (for example no content provided for pre-learning without anybody saying anything) or finding resources when some of the LinkedIn courses were not up to standard compared to the longer Cisco ones.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Through the live learning sessions I have been taught the influence and impact of different types of leadership, the impact of different types of leadership such as servant leadership or or transformational leadership. I have also understood the art of social influence, how that impacts a group as a whole and how that influence may change the team dynamic. Through the bootcamp I have also developed further my digital literacy skills. Further regarding the types of leadership, I have understood the effectiveness of a good leader, and the impact that each different leader may have on a team and how they support a team through their method of leadership. This has been shown through my own work, as I have had to act as a leader for people doing work experience with me at my workplace, having to manage them and show them aspects of different types of leadership to assist them through what they need to do.

Has my journey unlocked my full potential and prepared me for a successful and impactful career?

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
It is early on in my learning journey, so it is hard to answer this question at my current stage. I at least know now, from doing the coding side of things (something I have not previously ventured into in my work life) that I do not fully enjoy that area of the software development/IT world - and by knowing this, and the options on this course...I have chosen to pivot on to the Business Analyst pathway. My background is Software Transition > Software QA > Retail BA...so the Business Analyst pathway suits my career path also. I originally embarked on this course to help prove my work skills, by hopefully achieving a degree, as well as hoping to improve my coding knowledge to become an Automation QA. But I do feel now that this course will solidify my knowledge, and set me up nicely for a secure future as a Business Analyst. So I do feel as though this course has been beneficial so far, and will be beneficial to me professionally.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
The lecture about flexibility and emotional intelligence fostered great discussions and learning time about out behaviours and emotional soft skills. I believe that these lectures were very important, and while covering topics like these might not be very academic, they are a vital role in providing a thorough learning experience, and will allow us to go far in the workplace. For example, learning about entrepreneurial skills wlll help us in the future, not just for if we want to start our own businesses like it might suggest, but will help us in the workplace, as entrepreneurial ideas are often smiled upon and are positive to the company you work for. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
I have learned to negotiate with confidence and engage with entrepreneurial thinking

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
I feel i have learnt how to self-manage, reflect practice and problem solve through learning journals. The learning journals are really beneficial, they help me stay organized, confident and comfortable. I believe they ae really good idea to help students keep track of their studies and feelings. They are also a good way for students to refer back to, if they have forgotten what lessons may be about. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Yes, by using the Gibbs reflective cycle in my learning journals, it has allowed me to reflect on what I've learnt and how I can improve myself, which is not normally what I've done before. But by using this cycle, I have noticed an improvement with my self management.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
This boot camp has helped my leadership skills, it has given me a good image of the different types of leadership, specifically during the leadership session. This is not something I have used much yet in my professional life but it has led me to start asking questions about this topic, which will help me in the future. The boot camp as a whole has not directly changed my way of thinking, although it has helped me to start asking the right questions

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
The bootcamp has definitely helped me develop a more well rounded professional mindset. The technical weeks have been massively helpful in gaining a foundational knowledge of some of the subjects i hadn't touched before, python for example. The skills weeks were much more useful than i had first anticipated and helped me develope alot of skills i thought i already had further and gained a better understanding of how and why i do certain things in the professional setting. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Yes, I think I took more from the professional development sessions simply due to the fact that this is my first professional position but not my first computing course. The professional skills development sessions I was able to attend allowed me to reflect on strengths as well as areas for improvement and how I might go about those improvements.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Yes I have definitely enhanced my emotional intelligence, especially since I joined this apprenticeship straight out of sixth form. It has been a journey balancing work and university bootcamp, but I have finally found the balance ad organisation I needed.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Q4mSf89Y
Yes. I have developed these skills to allow me to have more of a flexible and adaptable mindset
