Lots of support for job-related duties, less for college and apprenticeship related.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
They deliver all content, but are often slow to respond to emails. There is also a distinct lack of organisation when it comes to the apprenticeship tutor, having been without one for ~6 months (the last one finished employment there and it's taken a long time rehiring).
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Reasonably well.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are many event, countryside walks, rounders events, company Christmas parties, etc.
