Could do with some improvement.
Work placement would benefit from a more structured training programme.
University could benefit at providing more work.. the level & magnitude taught is very low.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

Enough... could be improved.

Very little. They refuse to even try and understand my views, wishes & feelings towards how best to utilise my engagement.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Very little.
The training: it's currently a good starting point for learning the basics, nothing more.
