4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

To be completely honest not very organized, I had many problems from the start. Recently when my functional skills maths was being applied to me I faced different technical problems with the laptop the exam was being applied with, also the environment that the exam was being applied to me was not suitable, and the tutor was aware of it, and unfortunately, she did nothing but wait to the exam to finish and then say that I was set to fail.

Unfortunately, I have faced many problems with my tutor that has not made me really happy. She can be very supportive but not very organized.

4/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Most of my studies I have done myself, with the resources my tutor have told me I should use, so I feel confident that the course is definitely helping me to perform better.
