  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I’ve developed enormously on my practical skill and knowledge, especially health and safety wise. You’re taught to work safely and to quality. Learning to use machines you’d never expect to understand and craft things that are complicated is a huge accomplishment and gives you the feeling you can do anything you put your mind to.

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