My programme was very well structured and organised with a day release to college to complete my BTEC and NVQ course and the rest of the week on site.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I receive a lot of support from everyone at Babcock from the training team to my colleagues in my work department and all management.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

We received a lot of support from our training provided when working towards our qualification and the knowledge and experience they provided was really useful in passing our BTEC and NVQ level 3 courses.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

It helps me perform a lot better because it gave me a general understanding about all aircraft and systems in more depth and I use that knowledge in my day to day role in work.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

Yes there are a lot of extra-curricular activities to get involved in at work especially sports activities.
