3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the job alot. I've found some parts of the programme difficult due to a change in job roles and have felt that the college part of the course has been a little unorganised in places.

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

Feedback is received, there isn't a lot of support. This is probably because there are lots of apprentices work to review.
