I receive a decent amount of support from the training provider. We work 2 days out of the month with the training provider with them helping me, but also with the task set we receive lots of help and if we ever get stuck someone is there for support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

The qualification helps me for sure though the training provider and has given me more confidence to speak up in large group of people to make sure my opinion gets heard.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
