3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy my programme a lot because it has given me a chance to flourish and brush up on my report building and insight mining, would've been even better if i did an actual DM role involving publishing campaigns etc. to widen the DM horizon

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I have a QA skills coach whom i meet every month, i spend a day a week dedicated to my coursework only. I have course dates every 2 months. The coursework is well structured with the required criterion for my job role laid out in a doc for me.
