5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The first day was very structured as it is standard for all employees. However as the department evolved the programme became slightly unstructured, but soon that was fixed and my responsibilities became clear. The level of support is amazing and there are many training opportunities.

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

My training provider gives regular support when in class, but are not as responsive to emails etc outside of class. Generally I have regular 6 week meetings with my manager and those are beneficial as they allow me to set targets and compare.
