3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It is the first month of the apprenticeship, I enjoy working in sales team. Currently, the majority of my time is working on the job. I think that next months we will receive more apparent. courses- workshops and we will dealing more with the qualification's tasks.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I have already received the annual agenda of our apprenticeship. Until now I received 2 workshops for the apprenticeship which were really organised and I gain a lot of knowledge. It is the first month, so we did not have a lot of interaction in theoretical level with the qualification. It's more working on the job.
