Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The beginning of the course is poorly organised, however, after the inductions, it is manageable and more organised. The end of the apprenticeship programme is poorly organised as they are still deciding when students graduate when we only have a year left. This should've been planned before starting the course.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
So much support both from uni and Accenture side.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Some support however issues will be investigated and there is no real leeway.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Helps practice skills and get better at languages.
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
Many!!
