3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Practical side is good, the non-practical is rather 'academic'

7/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Structure is good. We have a course coach + online learning materials which we can access when we need. My only grumble would be the timeline for completion, which i would suggest is ambitious

Considerable. They allow time and resources to complete the course.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

The course coach is excellent and support throughout - giving energy boosts and really helping you to kick on. The web portal is a little bit too 'self serve'.
