Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It's just been reformed so there some bits to iron out such as the order to tach things at the college, but overall it's good.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Always there if I ask.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Plenty.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It's good, there is definitely a base level of knowledge I've gained however it can be a bit non specific as it is based on any nuclear operator role across the UK.
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
Plenty of community based activities
