At times it is somewhat unstructured. Apprentices have been left with incorrect contracts that take months to correct and sometimes the communication between UEL and Accenture seemed to be slacking.

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

A lot of the staff and teachers at UEL are great, they are very supportive and have the students best interest at heart. On the other hand, some are very hard to contact and some seem to not care much about the apprentices.
