  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy going to college as it is fun and the people there are about my age. I also enjoy learning new things when I am at college. I partly enjoy working in an office. It is too repetitive and not always very challenging. Its is only mentally demanding and not physically. everyone in the office is to money based and it is a bit boring sometimes and life questioning.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Because it is still starting out so they are always changing things to try and make them better. I think in a few years times things will have settled and the teachers/ senior management structure will be better organised. because I don't who to ask certain questions to sometimes.
