  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I have had a more difficult experience with the program. Overall I have had 3 mentors which means I have had long gaps in between meetings. This has meant I have not yet completed my apprenticeship despite being signed on in 2016 and it taking a year maximum.
