4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Big lack of communication they left us for 6 moths with next to no contact apart from a groupchat to try handle issues that were sometimes sorted but many times ignored or have to repeatedly bring up the issue to get them to address it. they have no understanding of out day to day activities and the little time we get to do out work and the after loading the companies work/tasks to complete with little time makes it very hard to stay up to date.

2/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

At the start of the apprenticeships many instructors left or quit and was having times with no instructor but have since fixed majority of the issue and are clearly trying hard to make it good.
