  • 3. To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?

    • Due to the fact that it was virtual there is only so much that can be learnt so to improve the experience I would have preferred it to have been in real life.

  • 4. How well organised was your work experience?

    • Very organised - the sessions were split up and there was a provided timetable given beforehand. However, there were timetabled comfort breaks which were around 15 mins long made for us to have a mini break - we often only got around 10 mins of these as the previous session went into our comfort breaks.
