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

The qualification that I am going through at college will help me to some extents but the stuff I learn doesn’t help me in the workplace. I understand knowledge about electrics but the stuff I learn at college is domestic which isn’t what I touch at all in the workplace.
