Training provider was supportive, but the could have done a bit more to be honest.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Although this is just a first step into the world of machine learning, I think that I would not have been able to do this first step by myself. So I think it was very useful.
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
Not really.

No
Why?
Well, it really depends on what you like / want to do. For someone like me who would like to do more work in machine learning, honestly there are a lot better places to go to.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Vodafone?
If you are looking for a tech company, Vodafone is not the right place for you, but there're a lot of good reasons to work for Vodafone, for example is a very welcoming and inclusive environment.
