6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

West Cheshire had some really good tutors, but some that never turned up and lied about their qualifications. Our NVQ was managed with CCSW and that went really well, as did most of our lessons. However this was dragged down by the high frequency of staff which were hired and then fired, and the tutors which were no good.
