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

I feel like the modules I have learnt haven't really seen much application in the work place so far, maybe this will increase as we work with more complex work.

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.)

Coming out of covid has seen an increase in extra-curricular activities with office social events, travelling for in person training etc. Haven't seen anything about sports related activity in the Manchester office
