  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I am enjoying it, I live the relaxed nature of my job, there isn't any micro-managing, I'm left free to work on what I have to do.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • I would say it is well structured. Each Wednesday is university day so I get to be in class for that day.

    8/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I don't receive much but that's because I haven't needed any so far. I know that if I was struggling with something then I would get that help.

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