at the begining there was no structure at all. I only saw my tutor twice in 5 months if that. Little guidance, advice on how to complete the questions

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

again its been very minimal which i hacve addressed internally. I should be allowed 8 hours per week on the job training which i havent been given due to current workload and the integration of a new system.
