its fairly well organised but then you get rushed towards the end

moderate support as I work in a small store therefore time is short due to low staff numbers however I believe it was adequate for someone of my level of understanding for the most part

i had a great amount of suport for the majority of the course..... until i got to the very end and got very little

not that I am aware of
