In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?

the scheme was very great as it offered two placements during the year with the chance for you to do an extra two months. This allowed you to experience more than one area in more than one business if students don't know exactly what would they like to do. It was a great experience.
