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

    • They provided you will all the information required to complete the work asked of you, however it would be nice to have direct contact with a member of staff who understands the uni work and could answer questions directly.

    7/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • The qualification will allow flexibility to work in a variety of role within the built environment. This trade off means it left out some areas that I work on regularly, but I think this is a worthwhile sacrifice.
