It is very well organised and with events you are let know well in advance. Everything is also booked in a calendar so there are reminders.

3/5
If I ever need support I know that I can get it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Not a great amount, they usually decide to notify me that I need to do something with short notice, and even then the instructions aren't exactly concise.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I feel like the training is relevant but we kind of already knew the content by the time they had taught it to us.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
All the social events, tough mudder, charity football matches.
