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

I receive a decent amount of support, we perhaps could get more however i respect that it is a large university with hundreds of students.

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

I think it helps to an extent, however i often learn more and faster through the actual job itself as i can practise it rather than just learning content at university

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.)

Yes, there is many opportunities to attend activities of that sort, as well as being a STEM ambassador which gives you opportunities ot go and network more.
