How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I think it has had some impact day to day. I think it helped the most with understanding how the HR function works and the impact HR has on the business. As well as a focus on operating within employment law.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes, most of the above.
