6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

they're available on email for me to drop in and ask questions, the course does feel a little rushed. i think it would be a lot easier for them to support if it was in class mostly

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Cummins?

be honest and creative, it is a little too cooperate here and easy to get caught up in the "Cummins way" whereas most of the good ideas come from outside experience.
