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

after over 4 years, there has been very little connection between the degree i've achieved and the work I do on a daily basis. Would've have liked to have seen more relevant content, maybe some AWS or Azure learning and also real-world business modules that have relevance to real work

yes plenty of things going on, lots of social events, football kick abouts etc so there's ample opportunities to connect if you want to
