The apprenticeship has been well structured and has been given a clear outline and timetable which makes it easy to know what is coming up but sometimes has lacked organisation but this has been overcome by just reaching out and trying to solve the issues with a contact which I have had to do on occasion

3/5

My qualifications I know will help me in my job roles as this has been explicitly explained to me However as I haven’t fully started my day to day job role I can’t give a full opinion on this matter as I have r actually started it yet

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

3/5

So far I haven’t attended and extra curricular event that Babcock have put on other than the training courses but I have done some of these extra curricular activities with other colleges from the company which has been very e joyful and easy as the other employees are very welcoming

Firstly it is a good paying job for people of my age and has gods progression also the rewind and qualifications gained are very useful and be transferred and this will help me through my career so this is why I would reformed my apprenticeship to a friend.
