How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
It provides a theoretical background for practical skills required for the day to day roles involved in my job. Some modules are obvious how they are applicable, others are not particularly obvious how they are applicable.
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
Probably, I already have some unrelated to work so haven't looked into finding out if there are any
