How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I feel that my qualification helps me get a better understanding of what the customers and the employer needs from us as employees representing the brand.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There were plenty of workshops about different areas and scenarios of the airport online on the MS teams due to the pandemic, however, we’d have done a charity event for flying start (flagship charity programme, a global partnership with comic relief) as our 20% off- the job training.
