  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The structure of the programme is good. It's a block release around once a month which I think is better than a day release. The current circumstances have obviously halted this at the moment but hopefully it will be back up and running as soon as possible when it is safe.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • The college provides a fair bit of training, it covers most of the theory well and gives us the help to pass each exam coming up. They also help with practical skills. They also have a seperate designated person come check on us every now and then to make sure we're up to date on everything

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I think it helps alot and gives us enough knowledge that we can then apply to work when we go. It also helps you understand stuff when your at work such as what types of test are required and why etc. It's nice to know what your doing at work if you have done it previously at college

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There's no activities sport teams or professional networking events to be involved in. There are Christmas does or just work does in general which are good. Or you can just meet up with some outside of work as you will probably get on with most employees I guess lol.
