Until about 5 months ago it was awful, I had 2 assessors who did not help me at all and i fell so far behind on all of my assignments, but my latest assessor is amazing and I have caught up a lot and nearly completed my level 3.

To be honest next to no support at all. My assessor has had to demand I have my off the job hours as for over 12 months I had nothing.
