  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • enough. Would expect more- again more frequent meetings, more check ups rather than just leaving me to it. While the independence is nice, support is needed especially when first starting off. Have had to send emails with multiple questions, meetings would be more beneficial for this.
