  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy my day to day variation of work. College breaks my week up nicely, working at a clients enables me to build on my professional character and widen my knowledge and skills, and being in the office some days allows me to communicate effectively with my team. I enjoy the training programmes and this switches up the routine a bit too. As humans we naturally are more attracted to a switch up in routines, keeps things interesting!
