  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • My uni has helped me and implemented all the help that I need. With my learning needs they have been able to implement all the equipment and support I need. An example of this would be coloured paper for reading all the information. This is very helpful as reading is a struggle
