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

I receive a good amount of support from the university but naturally the course is quite independent which allows you to fit the study around work. You often have meetings with the university and line manager which is a good connection to have.

The course relates very well to my role so enable me to transfer my knowledge directly to my work and understand new terms and topics.

There are many networks to be involved in whether it is just going along to the events or being part in organising them. You get time out of your working day to also volunteer which is great.
