Programme was ran really well especially considering I did it in a global pandemic.

The training providers are great and assist you in anything you may need along the way in completing your apprenticeship
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I don't think it helps me perform better necessarily. It helped me get the role but we learn a lot more skills once we are boots on the ground and getting involved in the work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There may be but I have never looked for any
