4/5

It is very well structured

How much support do you receive from your employer?

I receive a lot of support, if I have any questions about anything either my line manager is able to answer or if it is not known to him he will refer me to someone who does.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

I receive a lot of support, we are aloud to ask questions and they give me detailed responses and make sure that I understand fully.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It gives me basic knowledge which I can then use in my role to ensure I have wider understandings of subjects.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Would you recommend Arcadis to a friend?

Yes

Why?

They are very well structured which allows you to learn and interact with a range of different people. You are also given flexibility in your role which I think is very important.
