As mentioned, my organisation is an employer provider and therefore my job role and training are heavily linked. My trainer responds quickly to any issues/questions I have and provides helpful feedback regarding different assessment elements.

I feel my training has improved my performance within my role. It has provided me with a better understanding of the business sector I work it, how different processes are usually carried out and helped me understand why certain elements need to be done a specific way.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
I don't personally get involved in any extracurricular activities at work due to my hobbies being on a more individual basis, such as reading. There are, however, a lot of different groups and activities that you can take part in that are regualry shared and encouraged within the organisation.
