  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • At first it seemed slightly confusing when it came to sitting down with my manager to sort what units I intend to cover However everyone has been helpful in providing information when asked about specific things, unfortunately I did feel like I was being told one thing by one person and then something else by another but I think that's mainly because some of the people I asked were confused about what I actually wanted to know? But apart from that the programmes been fine
