5/5
I receive lots of support from my employer, although this has been difficult during the current pandemic I feel the support they have given me has been excellent.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I receive lots of support, there is always someone to speak to if I need to find out some information for my coursework.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Since beginning at IPS I have learnt lots of skills most of which I had no knowledge of before starting, this will help me when I start on site as I will have a basic knowledge of tasks I am required to perform.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes, there is a social club which anybody can be involved in, they plan events such as visiting plays and family days.
