4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It's brilliant, I have 20% of my time a week to use for my apprenticeship, which my manager has gave me full autonomy to fully manage and decide when to take on my own. I have a weekly session with my cohort (virtually at the moment) and constant check in's with my programme leader.
