Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

The placement year exceeded my expectations. I thought i would be there to do all the little tasks that the guys in my team didn't want to do but the amount i have learnt by being able to get involved as much as possible is great. If i had the option of returning to VWFS i wouldn't even need to think twice.
