How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I really value seeing how the material we study gradually settles with me and then starts showing its relevance in my day-to-day work. It’s given me a broader understanding of how people practice plays a crucial role in business success, not just as a support function, but as a strategic partner. The apprenticeship has also strengthened my confidence when working with managers and contributing to people-focused decisions, while keeping ethics, fairness, and compliance at the heart of how I work.
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
Yes. There are sports competitions, charity fundraising events, etc.
