  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • The course was very self-led. We only had one full day of tutor-led learning every two months, and the skills coach could have helped with more practical skills such as academic reading, citations, writing and presentations. They did support me well before my EPA.
