How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
4/5
i am constantly developing my skillset in relation to my role - however, i would say that some of the training events lean a little more Rural Surveyor rather than Land Consents Surveyor, so we do find ourselves having to think out of the box for some of the training as Rural is relevant to an extent but not always
