  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • The support is endless. For example, during exam season, we have access to achievement ladder steps, recordings of lectures, scheduled live forums to ask tutors questions, question banks with practice assessments and much more. All of which undoubtedly enables you to be prepared for an exam. Everything is there, as long as you put the work in, you will succeed

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • Having completed the first stage of my qualification, I feel much more confident when approaching different tasks at work. The exams directly link towards the work you undertake and you can always see the benefit of completing the qualification almost immediately after as you are able to take on more responsibilities
