2/5
Support is good only if you have a good officer in charge.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
The evidence seems to change all the time so very little support in terms of exactly what is required.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

The bits of evidence seems more like box-ticking exercises rather than reinforcing any learning.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
