I believe it is cohesive and well structured, allocating enough time for University through Off the Job hours.

5/5
In my experience, I feel thoroughly supported throughout my journey. I never have felt as if I could not ask for help if required.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Support from University is less than BAES, however I am in contact with University less.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

As of Level 4, some parts of the degree are linked however I believe as time goes on and I progress through level 5 and 6, this will increase.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes there are plenty
