Provision of Training
I prefer to take responsibility for your technical training at first, leading to more independence later.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I will set out my expectations of your progression on a weekly/monthly basis. If these progression criteria are not met we will always discuss a plan of action together.
Communication
I am happy to discuss any issues that are impacting your ability to fulfil your potential or my/our expectations.

In a group meeting
At least once a fortnight
