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

    • my new coach is amazing but the actual company has been really disorganised in terms of getting me on to the courses each month, I still havnt been added with the correrct order and feel this should have been organised better. I have been waiting at least 2-3 months for these to come through so my progress is slow.
