  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] some lessons were not allocated a tutor and we have had to do all the work in half the amount of time. However, this was probably because of Covid, so i understand.
