3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

i do feel it is fairly hit and miss.. certain topics are out of my depth and i have to try harder to understand, though challenging this pushes me to try harder- usually this is with topics that grip me abit more and i feel necessary to learn, however there are others i feel arent so specific to my role and come across almost patronising, as well as certain topics not being delivered to the best of my own preferences.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

it is scheduled very well however i think the managers overseeing a students apprenticeship could put a little more effort into working with the program, as i do feel overwhelmed and almost neglected at times to fight with catching up in my rare free time.

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

unfortunately they are swapping around training providers half way through learning which i can imagine to be a little unsettling but we will see what happens, other than that i have been working closely with [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] who has gone above and beyond on several occasions to help me out, could not appreciate her enough.
