    8/10

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme is not very well run, there isn’t really any structure to it, it’s luck of who your manager is and how interested they are in your development. Also when you complete the programme it’s not managed very well.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I have received a lot of support from my managers and my colleagues but from higher up management I wouldn’t say they are very involved in the apprenticeship scheme.
