7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I learn a lot through work but the supporting statements that I produce for college help to ensure I know exactly everything about that subject and increase my overall knowledge.

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 is regular sessions happening virtually and we're many more before the pandemic. I'm sure after we get back to some normality they will resume the additional activities, which there are many of.
