To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
It was initially a bit daunting as there was not a lot of time to complete it due to staff shortages, however, I was given part days and fulls off for training to complete outstanding assignments.
Overall, timing worked out quite well and hours of learning were made up witrh practival learning.
