Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

the first year is college based and can be a little bit all over the shop with exams and resits but as you venture out to OJT everything has a set time scale for shifts and work that needs to be complete.

Now on OJT there are social events that are organised within the shift that you are which are always great to attend.
