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

It's not like university so they baby us as much but sometimes the knowledge of how I'm doing isn't there. But they probably have a large number of people to look after.

6/10

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

I think it's the softer skills that are really beneficial. I know SQL, but I don't know how to manage my manager into when to expect an SQL piece of work. Or what stakeholders were until this course

We do a meet up every now and again. Go for dinner etc. Need to do more.
