  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • the course itself is okay with organisation, sometimes some of the lecturers don't have the answers to what you need. but there is people in place within capgemini which will give you the ability to get these questions answered. the support stucture from this side is more than absolutely fantastic

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • the support from the traiing provider is limited to lectures only, we have lectures once or twice a week. you can conatct lecturers if you have any questions but it doesnt get answered sometimes. but the flexibility of the course is what makes it work with work committments and uni commitments
