  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Marstons is brilliant when it comes to apprenticeships. However the programme i am doing with Crosby i have struggled a little with as it has taken me a while to get used due to not really having a structure. I have informed my training provider who has helped masively by setting tasks for me.
