My training provider spent with me more than two hours that they have been very useful for them to know my qualifications and my knowledges. In this day I had to complete a self valutation about myself that it turned out to be a start point for what I should learn better

Getting new examples can really help me to put my study and the experience I will do into my job text the effects and make a plan for future change. I will be less concern to take decisions and these will be affected by my knowledge instead of by my instinct

2/5
No ate the moment. But I will be more that keen to take part to networking event and social activities to share with other people from my company or other company our way to work and get some testimoniances. Extra curricular activities can be the funny part of the course when you take a break from your study and you reflect on your experiences.
