  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Training has been really useful and has taken place at a great time. I was given a week to settle into my role before taking part in the training. The training then became useful to me as I had been using it during my first week which kept me engaged in the course. Support is always available from course leaders, Managers and colleagues. I feel like my team have so much trust in apprentices and are happy to give them a real task to undergo with clear guidance from managers or ASM's.
