I enjoy it a lot as the staff are extremely welcoming and make you feel super comfortable and at home.
They are amazing at making it fun all projects are enjoyable and you are able to be creative.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Not as much as I do my manager as there are a lot of us in the cohort so it is sometimes hard for my tutor to help me sometimes when I ask for help she says she can't right now, or its a brief explanation.
I can trust the other staff at the academy for help
