To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

They support as best they can. If we have an issue and it's raised then they will support us as much as they can

We have access to as much support as possible and tutors are very enthusiastic in wanting to help us progress
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

The training provider is based with workshops so what i learn in lessons can be applied to the workshop. At the end of the course they'll have taught me nearly everything I'll need to know for my job
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

If you want to join a social group of certain subjects like LGBTQ+ then that's ok and we have that in place. There's also various sports teams to join like football, rugby and cricket
