  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Programme is extremely well structured and organised; I was given a timetable with all the information of training modules at the beginning of the programme. The induction was well structured as it gave me the time to get to know other apprentices also, we were introduced to a lot of the people we would be working/studying with and we spent time with our support manager. Training courses sporadically throughout the programme were all very well organised as we had email reminders and I feel like I learnt a lot. We are regularly updated of anything important via email or phone call by my support manager and she is very supportive. We have regular catch ups and everyone is very supportive.
