  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The introduction of the course was really good as we had a 2 day course put on for us and we had to stay over night in a hotel too. then from the other training course they have been good and taught us things that we haven't learnt before but some of them have been a bit broad as too they haven't really explained well about the topic. My study time that I am allocated too , I get most of the time in my nursery as 9/10 I am given my 4 hours a week study time.
