I receive lots of support from my training provider with plenty of opportunities for meetings with my lecturers if I am struggling to understand a topic
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It has helped me to perform better in my role as it has helped me to better understand the theory behind some of the work that I am doing.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Kier offer extra curricular activities like volunteer days where as a group we can go and volunteer to do charity work which helps to give back to people in need and gives an opportunity for networking and team building.
