1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

On a typical day, I will be coding to gain insights from data. This will usually be on a project I am working on. I will often then use statistics and create visualisations from graphs that help summarise my findings from the data to then create output for the business

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

Helps a fair bit as it broadens your range of thought such as applying particular statistical concept to your work which you wouldnt have considered before. However, Sometimes the coding langauges used in training is not used on the job but this also helps get a broader range of skills.
