2/5
Support team is in place for us, however their team aren't massively reliable or helpful to older studiers.

3/5
Quite a lot of help from the teacher themselves, to the study support dept. at Kaplan
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Some study areas are obsolete for my practice role (such as mgmt accounts etc.) And some areas go into much more depth than needed, however better to be prepared.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
No professional development opportunities by way of business networking, however there are the odd social events helf.
