Support is available and most managers are understanding about the workload we have
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The university do have a lot of resources available to help us through the academic section of the degree
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

it helps slightly but there are many established practices in place at work already that are easy to follow so the theory learnt at university is not often put into practice
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Plenty of these from bowling to discord board games
