I received a great support from my providers. She was of great support, guiding and encouraging me during difficult periods. She was always there to listen and give her honest feedback. A great coach and mentor.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification through my provider has helped me in dealing with certain situations at work that i would have found a bit difficult to handle. There were some activities i learnt during the programme that i use today when dealing with certain situations.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are no extra-curricular activities involved at my work. It will be great to have them to enable team members get together outside of work pressure.
