Its good - very busy and very technical

It could probably be more organised as its hard to get a plan of how to do thing in place when theres alot of team members in and out of the team

4/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Our training provider is Blackpool college and i believe the level of education could be better. This has been an ongoing problem and it is currently being investigated. The quality of lectures is very poor and the lecturers dont help/advise.
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
no
