5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I feel that my job role gives me a lot of structure day to day. I also have college once a week which breaks up the week, but I feel that my college time is not as well organised or structured as the other side of the apprenticeship.

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

I feel that there could be more support from the college tutor. In terms of feedback, I don't receive much from her. My main support comes from my team and line manager.

I receive a lot of support from my line manager and ACM, as I have regular catch ups with them and they are always aware of my needs and constantly ask if I need anything from them
