Even though I have to complete regular E-learning and update my knowledge with regular policy and procedures. Using my knowledge to complete units helps me fully understand the information I know and study on aspects I don’t know or have little knowledge about.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

None that I know of.
