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

    • since starting DTA in 2018 my tutor has been changed 3 times causing restarts, repeating work and work going missing. this has caused problems for everyone and made it hard to enjoy.

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

    • i feel we learn more at work doing our apprenticeship then at college as everyone has different ways they work and how their work do things and at the training centre these are more generalised.
