3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the work aspect a lot more than the college aspect as the classroom environment is very bland and some tutors aren't as effective in teaching.

8/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is not the most well organised when it comes to the college side as they have allowed for large gaps of knowledge which are essential for exams

It doesn't have many things that crossover as we have only really learnt the basics of most subjects.

The office often hosts different activities to do after work such as watching the rugby or just going for drinks, every year the company also hosts a sports day.
