Was hard to get a response back from someone, let along support!

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Santander to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Santander is a great company to work for and I would recommend them to my friends. BPP University has, unfortunately, let this apprenticeship down.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Santander?
Make sure you understand the curriculum and the types of skills you will learn, for example for some members learning coding skills wasn't what they were expecting and they struggled.
