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

My training provider where good at repying to you about problems with the university however when it came to problems with the course it depended strongly on the module with some lectures not being able to help as they where covering a topic they apparently wernt completly familiar with.

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

The quaification aids in the more nieche bits of information that you dont talk about on site, however when it came to my role and gaining knowledge being on site allowed me to understand prinicples in a way not possible in the lecture hall

Occastion social activities are available with work within the team I work with and sometime with the other apprentices in the cohort
