How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I revived plenty which is great. There are so many people at wayfair who have different fields of expertise and I can approach them with anything I need. Smart training helped me loads with phone calls, emails and zoom calls which helped me complete my work in good time with it being top notch.

I like developing people simply. I develop people by giving them a skill which is already great but I wanted an extra edge to my game. This qualification has gave me techniques to use to help improve my training skills. I am thrilled that I have gained more knowledge
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
There is some events that wayfair do outside of work. There are LGBTQ events to attend in support of culture. I am not aware of any sports events I can attend that I am aware of or either any professional networking events based in the UK. I am curious to find out more
