  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The organised/ structured on the programme wasn’t great at the start , i think it was abit rushed and not straight forward some areas did need more attention to such as smart assessor and English and maths. Extra support would have been nice for people with learning difficulties such as more time to complete a task/ assignment or even one to one personal studying. But on the other hand if i did have a question or help then I know i can ask for help and more information on a task or topic.
