Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Covid has affected the structure of the programme but it does work well regardless.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

I don't think I get much support, the most support I get is from my mentor. My LDM is supportive but anyone higher up doesn't support me.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I do get some support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I haven't really changed much due to previous experience but I do feel slightly more confident.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
No there has been nothing. Heard of thing that used to be offered as an extra activity, but nothing for us.
