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

The qualification that I am working towards is directly applicable to the job role that I am in, not only in a knowledge sense in which I have expanded my ability to talk to these topical matters with my colleagues and clients alike but also practically.

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.)

There are many side-of-desk and extra-curricular opportunities to get involved in. Namely for me this has been the football team, the CSR work and my team's newsletter. I have also been trying to aid the cause of bringing the future of Financial Services AI into the firm.
