The programme is very well organised. We're given a clear understanding on what we need to do and when we need to do it. We're given enough time off the job to revise for any tests we have upcoming. Also to complete any work books we may have due to be completed. I know if i have any problems and don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing there's someone on hand to guide me
