3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I do very much so enjoy the programme as i think its a good way to be able to both learn and earn at the same time. the time split between the learning and working is very fair and never does seem too draining and is always different every day.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is very well structured as it equates to one day of study to four days of working. However, if i need more time to focus on my study and i have free time in the working day unilever is very flexible to accommodate for this and is great.
