To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have very much enjoyed the apprenticeship programme from beginning to end. It was challenging sometimes, nevertheless it was a necessary component of the experience, I have learnt much from it both in terms of technical and non-technical skills. The support I have received from my manager, colleagues and the wider team whenever I needed guidance made all the difference that made the programme enjoyable.
