5/5
My tutor is fantastic, she is really knowledgable about the content that was delivered, she was always available to meet if i was struggling and talk through ideas. When I was struggling with so many written elements the tutor adapted her training to allow me to be able to undertake professional discussions.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I have a much wider knowledge about corporate responsibility and learnt how to horizon scan , project manage, environmental & sustainability impacts which the project i am working on has so many job roles and I now have a better understanding of the importance of how they all work together.
