  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • The program is easy to fit on your working days as you can do all your learning online. I completed my apprenticeship during the Covid pandemic and some times I find it difficult to motivate my self to keep going. I will live to had some conference calls with other learners to share what and how they are doing.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The program is organised very well. The learners are doing their task at home or at work. The trainer is coming to visit you at your working place in suitable for you time which is great. The only detail I missing is interacting with other learners. Your trainer is always in the other end of the phone ready to help.
