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

    • Extremely busy for some weeks and not so busy for some weeks. It was a good balance. The days went very fast and I was never bored.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A lot. They really trust the students in cutting out patterns by themselves and let them get on with jobs without supervision- this was really nice as it meant they were confident in us.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I learnt more in the first week of interning here than I have in 2 years of university. It was extremely helpful and I am so great full for my time here.
