4/10

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

I think the college qualification is relevant however some of the practices aren't suited for what I do in work. For example, one unit spends a lot of time soldering which is something we don't do on site.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are activities available but I don't attend any because I'm usually busy.
