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

6/10

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

the support is very good. they held the webinars well and follow up calls. only one webinar was not the greatest but the rest have been decent

7/10

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

Its a qualification but I do not see the correlation with the job. I am in a role that can be performed without the qualification like so many staff in the role came straight in without the programme. Then after the programme finishes I still have to do the relevant lending qualification which I could do right now
