To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I absolutely love the program I am on. Its insightful and doesn't constantly stress me out like previous courses I have taken.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes I have learnt a lot more than I previously knew in terms of hands on experience with powered and hand tools.

Very organised in a sense of I know what is going to happen at each part of the current year due to the cohort timetable. Everything has happened when it was scheduled.

Academic support is amazing, instructors are always available to help.
Mental support is ok but I feel could be somewhat improved.

I feel I get a fair amount of support when I require it. The instructors always want us to get the best we can and always want to help.

I think the qualification I am working towards will give a vast insight into lots of different areas which surround aircrafts.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Not what I am aware of. There are the occasional ''lectures'' though.
