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

My qualification does not have much crossover with my job role but in the areas it does cross over it makes it easier to understand what I'm doing in my job role and why it is being done.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are plenty of social events to attend that everyone is invited to which allows the opportunity to network and the opportunity to get to know people you wouldn't normally see on a day-to-day basis
