How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
The office and training academy are easy to get hold of and will always try and help but [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] is some times hard to get hold of but this is understandable due to having a lot more trainees.
