  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Induction was brilliant, had a welcome day where we were given a tour of where we would be working and a brief on the apprenticeship and any relevant details. Training is well structured but could be more organised. I feel overall the structure and organisation of the apprenticeship so far is good
