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

support has been good and bad, things could of been explained better from the beginning. mistakes made with learning structure and a lot of time wasted. minimal commutation when needing help.

4/10

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

the qualification doesn't match up to my job role completely, its more customer focus when I don't deal with customers directly. but it does give a good understanding on the business and customer focus side which can only be useful in the future.

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 sports facilities but not many social events since covid. network events are mainly teams based so not entirely interactive.
