How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
I don’t feel I am receiving enough support from my training supplier. I have emailed asking support with my exams and not received a reply on many occasions I feel that the teaching isn’t the best quality and the teacher don’t care enough about you when you finish the collage day to respond after hours when I’m struggling
