A great deal of support if said support is required.

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

Loads of things are put in place for us to access, so we can undertake independent learning in our own time. We get to access the course we use in college and several helpful links to other online courses have been emailed to us as well.

9/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Knowing the theory and applying it to on site tasks really helps with the basic understanding of why certain things are done in a specific way. Also, being on site clarifies a lot of the theory.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

I believe there are but I am not aware of them. The only thing I've been involved in is when the site was given lunch and raffle tickets by MACE as a thank you for the hard work they've undertaken.
