How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
It doesn't really as I learn better by doing the actual work, rather than someone telling me how to do it in a different way. The way we've been taught is different to the current processes.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
