  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme was very well structured, Even though the role is very busy the management have thought of a great scheme that allows me to do my day job but also have time to do my apprenticeship work on the side. The structure to the first few months was also sensational because of the amount of training we have had.
