Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
To date I have had a mixed support from programme. Skills trainer keeps changing, now on 5th. The provider upgraded the learning platform last year - my previous work and evidence still not recovered.
Due to operations requirement, I have not always been able to have work time study sessions.

Previous Line Manager tried to support, but my planned study sessions were always interrupted or pressured to do work ahead of study. Some work opportunities that would have aided my study and EPA have not been given to me. Hoping new Skills Trainer can asist.
