  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy the program quite a bit however I feel it is a bit restrictive in the things that can be done one a weekend or outside of working hours. since it is a residential program but there is a ban on all vehicles. I feel a lot more life skills would be gained from the experience of living away from home if we were able to venture out further.
