  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • i dont really think it helps me perform better because the job is so physical and the training is a lot more mental , but i feel you learn more about the kitchen actually being in there rather then sitting down and learning about it . but thats just me personally could be different for others
