4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

There is alot more structure at the start of the programme but as you progress the structure in the office becomes more flexible and the structure becomes more personal. This allows you to structure your month according to relevant modules. the structure also depends on the reporting calander.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Some module are useful and can lead to more regular tasks off the back of them. Other modules can be overly simple like using email. Some of the questions don't always relate to the work you complete in the role so there is a bit of shoehorning.
