To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

There's a lot of support, the work itself is good and the people that I work with make it very enjoyable.

I receive a lot of support both internally from my employer from many levels, from my people manager to the managers and in-charges I work with from job-to-job.

5/5
I receive a lot of support from my training provider through regular check-ins, a designated skills coach and other resources.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualification is directly related to my role, it only lacks some of the nuance that comes from being on an engagement.
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 multiple different communities and networks to be involved in and make decisions for which influence offices and departments.
