To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I receive 100% support from my employee, allowing me to organise my workload and find the time and space to work on the units and to practice on the learning.

4/5
So far, the support from the provider has been really good and I have been able to get all my questions answered on time.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I believe it would help me to perform unconciously as a coach, as currently I am concious that I am not 100% I am applying the principles of coaching, as "no giving directions", among others, as example.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
