4/5
Course is interesting and enjoyable, content is very applicable to the roles I have been in so far, tutors are helpful and provide good feedback after each submission. Accessible via email or virtual check in sessions to ask questions, post covid this should also start to take place in face to face lectures and activities.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
The theory covered is applicable day to day and the content covered each year of the course is different. The knowledge skills and behaviors targeted for development are transferrable across the supply chain and the course is really useful as it fits well with what is being learned in the workplace.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
