How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It was well structured and I was given all information timely, Induction was good, I was given all support needed by mentor, colleagues and manager. Only thing I would say my academics part wasn't clear to me I wasn't given clear information about classroom learning that what I will be learning during my course and how it will help me with my job. but practical side of training and support from mentor was really good and organised.
