Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well organized. This being a rotation based programme, allows the apprentice to move every 6 months to a different function. This happens 4 times which takes you to 2 years, thereafter in your final year you get to specialize in which division you enjoyed the most.
Every 6 weeks, you attend a 1 week study school at Sheffield Hallam Uni.
