With my dyslexia i have had a lot of support like getting software to help me.

1/5
The teacher/ lectures leave you very confused about the training material however they make it difficult to fail the initial part of the course.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Yes there have been multiple instances where I have been given a task worked on it a bit got stuck then when i went into collage naturally during the lesson i got a better understanding of the problem and was able to solve it.
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
They don't do anything like that and everything is sorted outside of the business by other apprentices.
