3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoyed the online workshops as it is a great way to engage with others on my course and learn from their experiences and knowledge. I also enjoy my 1:1 with my tutor as she has really helped build my confidence in care.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Overall the programme is structured and organised. In the month you are expected to do your e-learning, then your workshop and finally finish your module activity. The only improvement I can think to make is the wording on the e-learning as sometimes I get confused on my next steps.
