Adequate for my current needs.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
As much as I need, as long as the work doesnt suffer.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
As its a leadership course and my role currently is not leadership I can see it helping more in the future but certainly wont do any harm in the mean time.
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
Not as many as there could be but isn't necessarily a complaint as home and work life can be a tricky thing to balance for some.
