    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Whenever I asked for help it was given but I was also allowed to work ahead on my own, it was encouraged- you defintely learn more by doing things yourself

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Depending on what day it was I could be really busy or else have not much to do. I think it really depends on what department you are in. I generally always had some little job to keep me occupied if y main project was running smoothly and didn't need much attention.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
