Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I would say in terms of my college programme it is very well organised. My NVQ qualification is self driven, but supported. My internal training with BT is self driven, sometimes it would be nice to have that organised for you, i.e. being emailed to ask if you would like to attend a course.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

I receive fantastic support from my manager and buddy. There is lots of support in BT.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I think the training providers are excellent with support, especially during COVID, I don't feel behind on my coursework.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel it has given me more knowledge about electrical engineering.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There is lots of networking events but not any social groups.
