i have learnt new skills in the sense that i am able to work my way through the systems we have to design on. By participating in this during my placement has allowed me to gain competence when navigating around and completing the task at hand,

it is pretty well organised with placements being spread out evenly allowing us to gain a wide range of knowledge.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
alot.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
i believe more support could be given in the aspect of being put directly with someone who is going to be your buddy during your placement who is sat with you so you have access to them whenever you are stuck.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
getting the level through during the first year of college wasnt beneficial at all. everything ive learn in college i have not brought with me into the role i am doing,
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
off the job hours and stretch opportunity.
