  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • The qualification played an integral role in allowing me to perform successfully in my role within the business. Without the qualification I would have struggled to do some of the tasks but as I was learning on the job with the qualification, this made each new task achievable as I learnt as we went along.

The employees all came from a variety of background and this meant they all had different interests which meant i could take part in lots of different things.
