Jenny is working on a Level III qualification in office administration. She works for a large retail store.

She wanted to undertake training to improve her skills and to gain a qualification that would contribute to possible promotions, but as she had not undertaken formal study for a number of years, she was quite apprehensive and uncertain of her own abilities.

She is now about halfway through the course and is mostly doing well, although there are some instances where she seems to be a bit slow in completing the competency requirements. M although she works slowly, she does seem to be developing the required skills.

4. What steps might be taken to help her improve on her performance?
