Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Support is offered when it is needed/asked for but they allow you the independence to monitor your own time and learning.

3/5
Regular meetings occur to monitor and track our progress and there is helped if needed and asked for by the apprentices.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
As we are on a design course and we are field base it doesn't have a massive overlap but it allows us to see why certain systems have been chosen and how these systems should operate.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are regular family days that anyone can attend as well as mini projects from around the world you can put yourself forward for to be involved in.
