3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The course has been enjoyable so far when we’ve had tutors. The interactions with the business have kept our interest. I expect the transition into the business to be enjoyable

7/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The course is structured. Unfortunately the college is possible the worst college experience I’ve seen/heard about. When/if we have tutors they’re knowledgable and engaging but they’re spread so thin by upper management the students don’t receive the service/teaching. I think there’s more managers than actual teachers. The college lets the whole apprenticeship down.
