How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive continuous support from my line manager and wider team when needed. If I have any questions I am confident my employers would support me and be able to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My team were very supportive throughout my apprenticeship and happy to support when I needed them. I could rely on them to provide information and support I needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think in pharmaceutical marketing it is very restrictive and difficult to apply typical marketing and theories but there are some that overlap. Some aspects of the learning I could apply in my job.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes there are multiple. They range from sporting activities, personal development and mentally such as language classes. There are lots of opportunity to network with people throughout the company but also within the industry.
