How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The college side of the programme has been awful, very poorly structured throughout, no tutors for at least 2 lessons and tutors not following the curriculum
How much support do you receive from your employer?

I feel the support I've received has been very poor especially the support I've received for my mental health
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

The support is okay, could be better though, as you are expected to just pick up what you are doing straight away
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
