Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

My role is to assist to maintain and repair any issues within the area that i am placed in at that time and gain information of this area so that i am aware of how it functions and usually follow maintenance team around with breakdowns and smaller jobs throughout the day.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the programme thoroughly and am impressed with how it is ran. it is set out well and gives me plenty of opportunity to improve and learn new skills throughout.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have learned many new skills and developed many skills also. I have learned a lot of hands on skills and different techniques to take on tasks as well as methodology of what is the best way to take on tasks and to assess any risks that may be involved within the job.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

the organisation is good in the programme, however there are areas that could be improved as sometimes it is hard for me to locate my team sometimes and am unsure as to where they could be throughout the day. overall, the structure is pretty decent.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I receive plenty of support from my employer and if there is ever any issues then i ensure that i get help and help is always provided no matter what the situation is.

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

3/5

The support from the training provider is also very good and are helpful most if the time. they usually provide feedback and help when required to do so. i did have an issue with one of the training instructors as they were not too helpful when i was struggling and felt belittled by them when doing a task. overall i do feel that most of the time they do provide help and support.

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

4/5

I do feel that in parts the qualification helps with my role, however, there is a lot of times when my qualification work hasnt been too necessary with my job but i understand why i would need these skills.

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

3/5

I am unsure on this, if there are then i am unaware of these.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?

Yes

Why?

BMW Group is a great place to get in to and is great for those who lik engineering and manufacturing. it is enjoyable and you will learn many skills and the majority of people that i have worked alongside have been very friendly and helpful to me when i have needed it.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?

You need to have a fair amount of knowledge before joining on engineering but not advanced and you need to be determined to complete tasks no matter what it takes and how you're feeling. You need to be able to work on your own but essentially as a team as the majority of your time will be working with others so it is important that you are confident and easy to get along with so that you and your team can have the best outcomes.
