  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • so when it comes to the qualifications we have a 2 hours session a month where we go through the study text and the different chapters with our trainer and ask any question we may have.the trainer also breaks it down for us or changes the wording so it is easier to understand

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • i think it helps me perform better in my role because if we have gone through it with the trainer and a customer has a question which i know i can just tell the customer rather than asking for help and this will save so much time and it will ensure that the customer has the best call experience
