3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The programme teaches you a lot more than what you see both in and out the workplace. There's plenty of support from my work coach who is very quick at responding to any queries and is really good at explaining things.

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

Most of the time I feel it does help me do better in my role but there are times I sometimes think how else it can benefit me. This is in no way a reflection of the training provider or the programme as it is purely my own opinion.
