Extremely poor organisation from the university. Last minute timetable changes, poor guidance for assignments, slow and poor replies from tutors.

A lot of support from Bolton FT. The practice supervisors, assessors and other staff are very helpful and provide me with brilliant knowledge.

1/5
The absolute bare minimum.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
My qualification does provide me with knowledge relating to specialist practice, however I feel that 90% of my development to perform better in my role has come from my employer.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
