How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It gives me a grounding to understand the wider principles of civil engineering, which I didn't fully appreciate prior to enrolling. However some modules go off topic a bit and don't really help me personally.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Yes, there are clubs and societies and social committees and I play football with colleagues
