it is very well organized and structed. the lessons and assignments are well timed and throughout coving all i need but still giving me time to work with my teachers on the assignments. Similarly Bloomberg is very well organized and always available to help me with anything I may need

I receive a lot of help from everyone. I have my own mentor within my team that helps me with a lot of my problems. however I still have a personals contract within HR that is always there to help me with problems. also the same is true for my school
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
They provide a lot to me, from having each teacher available during the week for a quick messages. they also set up extra team video call catchups during the week for each lessons and of course there is the head of the course who is very helpful in solving any problems I may have
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I find they go hand in hand helping each other. I have lessons on both audio skills and camera skills that help greatly with my work on the events. I also have other lessons that complement my work like network, live production and online event production all things i do day to day.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
