Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme i am on is very well structured. It's structured in a way that means when i come to do my lessons, i have already recently learnt it in work. Such as year end processes coming up right after i have just done them in April.

A considerable amount.

A good amount, the only thing i would say is it can be hard to contact my tutor at times but never leaves me hanging for more then 2-3 days.
