4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

My programme is relatively well structured. The sessions in London are well structured however it is disappointing that more than 50% of training sessions are now done by Teams. The Level 2 programme was originally supposed to take 1 year however we did not end up moving onto the level 4 course for 18 months. The entire programme which was originally supposed to be a 13 month programme and then an 18 month programme but will likely take over 3 years. Aside from this the sessions and programme is well organised.

The qualification helps me in my role a i have a lot of knowledge surrounding my field. I also know the correct and legal way to conduct estate agency. This said, a lot of what we learn in the qualification is not relevant to my role or property in general.
