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

Initially there was a lot of support however this has since reduced. However, for me this is not an issue as I feel I am able to work on the qualifications effectively and efficiently on my own.

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

The qualification is very useful in helping to build a more technical understanding of the industry. However, the skills and behaviours assignments that are set add very limited value to my development.
