Very supportive, upon joining I had a buddy in the year above me who helped to guide me through the systems and build confidence. I have a counsellor who I regularly speak to which is great.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Some assignment briefs are very limited so it comes down to students having to reach out to the tutors for further clarification.

Helps me to build new skills.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
