  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The induction was well organised as i knew where to go and be straight away the training at college was good however they missed a few units of our course, the support offered is there if you need it tasks are always given to you so you always have something new to do

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • You receive a lot of help fro the mentors as its small groups you are put in so you can get some really good mentoring from them as its basically one on one the managers are sometimes hard to get in contact with but thats expected as they can be busy the ITMs at work are great though

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • with covid at the moment sometimes communication can be hard but you do get the information you need in the end it can just take time sometimes, it is easy to find ways you can be supported as you are told who you can contact if you need any help
