Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
It is fairly structured with a few inconsistencies along the way i.e. teaching inconsistency between different lectures
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer, my business area and my line manager to take time to develop myself and progress
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I receive support from my training provider, however at times I come away from discussions quite confused due to contradicting pieces of information provided to me, sometimes by the same person. I do not feel I received any help or support from the provider in relation to one of the exams taken when the exam itself is notoriously difficult to pass.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualification supports my role with knowledge gained that I can put into practice in a practical scenario. It has helped with terminology and understanding of why things are done the way that they are. It has also taken me out of my comfort zone to try new things.
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
There are a number of activities available if an individual wanted to get involved both for development and health and well being
