5/5
My employer supports me with anything that I need.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
My training provider only does a monthly review to have a look at my progress which I believe to be insufficient. The monthly review sessions are helpful but I think they should be more often.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Almost all of the aspects I can see I will cover through my qualification apply to my current job role daily.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
