  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy the programme, however I find we don't tend to always cover relevant topics or work on the assessment that has the nearest deadline. I also find not everyone on the course has respect for their fellow apprentices, by always being late and talking in class whilst everyone else is trying to listen and learn.
