7/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Reasonably well structured. I feel like we are being taught a lot of information over a limited number of engagements and there is an emphasis on a lot of personal learning, which many people may not be able to afford to give.

Sufficient although I think the amount of work is too much and feel that this could be reduced.

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

Somewhat. I am aware of my enhanced listening and questionning skills. I was already a reasonably experienced mentor and I now understand the different skills set to be a good coach (with 30+ hours experience) however, there is still so much of the programme remaining before it's complete.

Yes, social activities.
