  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Incredibly well organized. Learning infrastructure set up providing learning classes and mentors. However too rigid in the fact that there is to be no flexibility of exam dates, we cannot take the exams when we feel ready to, we must wait until the apprentice coordinator wants us to do it.
