5/5
The programme is very well organised and structured. It intergrates everything so well and is easy to understand . It explains everything well and in a simple form that I can understand. I think it breaks everything down so well and intergrates the maths and English very well which is also easy to work through

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Whitbread plc to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I have worked in a few organisations but have never really felt like I fit in . Whitbread is more than a job it is more like a family , everyone gets on and everyone is supportive and this isn’t just in our branch it is through out all the hotels .
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Whitbread plc?
I think the tips and advice I would tell others would be to take every opportunity when it comes up as the support is there . Whitbread are very supportive towards everyone . So if you give your all then the support is there if that is something you would want to do
