  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I do enjoy it, however Commercial / Finance was not my chosen area I wanted to go in to. You apply for the apprenticeship scheme e.g. business admin, but line managers choose you so you can end up anywhere in the business.

    • Very well organised and structured.
