    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was very well organised as we had reviews at the start, middle and end of the placement which outlined key objectives I had to meet before the next review. This kept my placement focused and ensured I built upon skills.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Working in Hammersmith meant I lived in the West of London so prices were fairly expensive but you can do things on a budget if you go out with a big group of friends!

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There were a few opportunities - such as Yoga and there were various sports teams you could join!
