How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Some aspects are not as clear and can be hard to look through, more specifically juggling time needed for every module with what is on the calendar - might benefit from a more relative approach depending on each module length and difficulty. Team however, do try and help out as much as they can.

has relative overlapping with my day-to-day job

Loads of employee networks to get involved in, for every kind of hobby
