  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I suppose I would receive full support, I should ask for more maybe. I would expect from provider and tutor to be more interested on what I do now and what I know now, so they could advise better. Because same job role even in different care settings might involve different responsibilities and experience.
