How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
There are aspects of the qualification that help within my role. However, the course covers a wide range of disciplines, not all of which are relevant to everyone.
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 different events promoted each month by the company that are easily accessible for everyone. There are often charity events carried out on a site level to raise money for good causes.
