  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • During college, the teachers were always on hand to answer any email queries and, after I failed my first exam, extra one on one tuition was arraged for everyone so we could doscuss any problems we were having with the work, which helped immensly. In terms of the firms internal training, the teachers were always happy to stay later if you had any queries and are also happy to help when you are in the offiice working and not even on a course at the time.
