I work in business controls so look to mitigate risk to the business. Currently, i am an extra resource so my work is varied e.g. spreedsheets/ creating a sharepoint/ doing write ups on scams and regulation to be aware of

I enjoy the working part of it. I don't enjoy the off the job hours writing part

5/5
Plenty, we have lots of webinars and catchup sessions if we need anything and also a buddy from the year above to help us
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Quite a bit but could be more ie calls aren't very frequent
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Not really very much- it just harms it if anything as it is extra hassle
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
There is a couple groups like climate change or chinese community but not really much else which is a bit disappointing and could deffo be improved on
