4/5
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
If I ever have any questions or needs then they are willing to help. So you always feel like you have someone who you can talk to when you need too.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
It has helped to an extent, but I don't feel like it has helped completely. Its hard to find something which can supply everything you need. You get most of the correct help from work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
