Analysing Client Online platform ensuring that there is nothing wrong with it and that it is working as designed.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my program as I am situated within a great team, that help me grow everyday. Learning has never been this exciting.

Skills Development

5/5
I have learned to code, as well as be organised. Most importantly to communicate effectively.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My overall program is structure very well. I work 4 days and study one day. The online class's happen every two weeks, which gives you a week to read up on all your reading material but also revise from your previous lesson .
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from my employer. My line manager is very helpful and makes sure that my needs are met academically as well as with my work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I receive adequate support from my training provider. Would like more support going forward.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me understand my role in the IT world better. Concepts are really important in IT as they allow you to have grasp of the fundamentals but also allows you to have a clearer image in your head.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
There are some activates to take part in but i have not done any so far.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend NatWest Group to a friend?
Yes
Why?
At NatWest I have grown soo much in such a short space of time. I have mastered skill sets that used to terrify me such as public speaking to a group. I think that growth happens in multiple forms and NatWest helps you as an apprentice hit those peaks much sooner.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NatWest Group?
Be Confident, as well as put in the work in your spare time is essential. Make sure to do the reading material provided, as it will really help with your next lesson.
