  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I feel it is well organised. My study programme is structured to 1 exam every 3 months, which is continuous, however it allows me to focus on 1 exam at a time. It does however mean i find it difficult to complete extra apprenticeship tasks.
