My training provider sometimes offers great support and modules to learn as part of my course however quite often it is fairly disorganized and dosent feel like i am getting the best level of education
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualification relates to around 60% specifically towards my role however these modules that dont immediately relate do have use if supporting the ones that do these are usually the more maths approached modules

My employer offers plenty of networking events and some social activities to get involved in which allow me to create new connections in the organization and outside
