5/5
They are very helpful and always reminds us that we can reach out to them if we need any further support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It is a very useful qualification to have and studying for the exams definitely helps to understand the industry and apply to everyday work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
I have attended multiple socials that was organised by KPMG. It is a great way to meet new people who you don't get to meet when you are in your engagement team.
