The first 12 months not much, after a change in Skills coach this improved and have been able to progress very quickly. Covering more work in 4 months than in the previous 12 months.

3/5
The qualification will provide a good back round to the job role, however is not really applicable to the real world work that I am completing.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Not many that were applicable to my role. Tried to take part in as many as I could to be involved, even if they were virtual.
