3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the program very much, I have learned a lot from it and have been able to apply some of what I have learned into my job. It has also allowed me to develop existing skills that I thought I could not develop further without lots of hard work.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme start of wobbly to no one's fault, but quickly became well organised and structured. It is simple and easy to learn while providing the material, resources and knowledge needed to ensure the learns can progress unobstructed. There is a small learning curve when you first get started but this is quick and easy to over come.

My employer provides as much assistance and she possibly can. From ensuring my days off are side by side to ensuring I do t get placed on all the busy shift. She ensures I have a balanced work load when she can and that I don't get overburdened with stress.
