  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Unfortunately, this is the worst attribute of the position. The university is extremely disorganized and underprepared for the conflict of confidentiality, in addition to this, it is not an inspiring place to learn. Despite one lecturer has stood out and made the first unit informative and enjoyable.
