  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • The training provider has brilliant facilities but some of the content isn't quite straightforward. The university has equipment from Juniper Networks however our module content is mostly based on Cisco which is fairly odd. Its like having a library of resources only for you to never really use it.
