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

Honestly, not much. Response times are very stretched sometimes. However, I am not one to struggle with most activities however, if I have a question, I usually figure it out myself before I get a response.

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

Not as much as I expected, So far at ASOS, I have learnt more in 1 week then I have learnt in 2 months with the FRA, this may be due to the fact that I learn better by actually doing and that the lectures so far have been very standard. But it does not benefit me as much as I expected in my Actual job role.

Yes. I partake in most of the social events held by the Menswear team each week and these are very enjoyable. i also attend research trips to help me gain more knowledge regarding things like inspiration. I have also joined a team outside of my Role within the company where I will be representing the company on social media and attending networking events on behalf of the company and partaking in campaigns.
