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

whilst at college we get alot of support with our work. The actual qualification seems to be unknown to everyone. No one seems to know what we will get at the end, when how or what we need to do.

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

none at all. What we learn at college has no relevance really to what we do at work
