  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I have found my programme has been quite unorganized, however i have not allowed it to affect my learning. I enjoy learning on my own so the fact i haven't really had a trainer hasn't bothered me to much as its allowed me to just crack on with my work.
