6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

i receive enough support but it is limited due to being at uni only one day a week and being in seminars all day. maybe an improvement would be scheduling a free afternoon from work once a week to catch up with tutors/ plan studies/ get more help.
