Support from my empoyer has been good, covid put a stop to my study days so I was working and doing my apprenticeship in my spare time which could be difficult when doing days and nights.

I have received amazing support from my tutor, always on the end of the phone or email if you prefer. onefile is really handy as you can work on there through assignments but also message your tutor for support if needed.
