  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • The training provider provides a lot of support. We have tutors that we can contact with any issues. Additional Support days are put on to allow us additional support and understanding. They are constantly in contact with us, checking in to make sure we are ok which has been really important during the Coronavirus Situation.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I feel like this qualification is giving me the confidence to feel like i am performing well in my job by building on my current skills and me gaining additional ones. As a more mature student without a degree in my work path i lack confidence in having the skills that my peers had. This degree has helped acknowledge that i had those skills to begin with and it's just building on them and giving me that confidence.
