WAs organsied very well, since the lockdown and working from home there a various virtual ways to stay connected but i like the fact once you join your team your treated more like an actual team member.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
We have performance managers, but managment are always available if needed and you can put in time with anyone and they will help you.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
All the support you need, If you ask you receive, from extra time if you need it, for example i went through various personal things and suffer from depression and I was able to get the extra time and support i needed whilst studying.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Some of the modules are not always relevant to your actaul role but the background knowledge can be always used. And sometime it can just come up when a colleague is investigating and your knowledge helps supports finding a solution. I haven't fully completed but I wouldn't say i know more about my role based on the qualification, it s more the hands on work and working with senior colleagues.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
