    2/10

    2/10

    3/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • Not much at all. I do more of a technical, analytical role that only an accounting qualification helps with finance terms, but not a direct correlation to helping me perform better.

    2/10
