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

I feel as though exam feedback could be a lot more thorough and to go through exam questions would be very beneficial as a lot of people in my cohort struggle with the actual structure of answering an exam question rather than the content.

It helps me apply the law we follow to my job and understand why we have to do certain things and take certain protocols.
