A LOT! i have always got someone to talk to management level, anything i need or i do not understand, they try their best to guide me in the right direction.

4/5
i receive help from my training provider, we have 1-1s every couple of months, we are always encouraged to ask questions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think that they are both working in parallels to each other, 1 is practical based and the other is theory based training therefore you can use both experiences in each ways.
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
N/a
