  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I had timely meetings with my tutor in classroom groups online (due to covid) and one to one meeting with the tutor every couple of weeks. The tutor emailed out the works books for each topic and was very knowledgeable about where the mark and most important points are listed for quick reference. The time scale where clear for the work to be completed and the online space for tracking the documents was very easy to follow. the organizing of my final exam was sadly poor with the provider and the awarding body unable to communicate as this resulted in a 4-month gap in submission of paperwork to the exam being taken.
