To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I did enjoy the programme, it was sometimes a lot of topics and lots of assessments, lots of questions to answer. Because during the work time I can't do anything, is always busy and free time is really limited, all of the course I should do it on my time off.
I didn't have a tutor or a mentor, all my support was my trainer.

During this course, adult care lead, I learned a lot about many topics, including health and safety, legislation, infection control, using correct personal protection equipment, how to manage stress, how to maintain a happy atmosphere at work, learn new skills and techniques,,differences and similarity between duty of care and duty of candour.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Is well organized, but could do with a little bit simplifying. Some of the questions aren't clear enough, could do with more multichoise quizzes.
Is just my own opinion.
It will take less time.

2/5
Almost nothing.
My mentor left just after I started this apprenticeship and non of the staff recomend could help me,everyone was always busy.
I should insisted every time when I got stacked. It wasn't easy at all, to be honest, but I almost finished without help of my employer.
