  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • It took me longer than it should have - due to a break in learning. Once I made the decision to progress to completion I took a lot more enjoyment out of the course - and utilised the skills I learned in my day to day work. The end result was well worth the effort!

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