3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy my programme and knowing that i am going to get a degree out of it is the most motivating factor. Gaining real life experience and putting my studies into actions is vital for me and makes my learning so much more enjoyable. The opportunities that i am already gaining are paramount and one which i would not have got if i was not on this apprenticeship programme.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

My programme is structured very well with a lot of readings sent out in plenty of time and awareness. I think the support given from the provider is very good with plenty of regular meet ups. However, as they are using a new system with us there has definable been a lack of knowledge, help and information about using this - which is where the on the job work gets put.
