  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • It has been satisfactory with disruptions coming from the training providers employees being my assessors who come out to my work place. Having this problem meant I have to do a lot of work over again as it got lost but mainly it is well organised when the correct staff has been put on the job
