5/5
We are given different placements in different areas of the business so could be based ina place that covers cost, risk , ethics etc.

5/5
i enjoy it because somehow my role is helping the launch of submarines from the dock

5/5
Most definitely being in a development program that means we have to make sure we tick off skills and knowledge to progress in our apprenticeship

5/5
I think it is the most structured and organised it can be due to BAR being government funded money cant be wasted

5/5
A lot of support we have people we can contact at anytime if we have issues
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Plenty we can email them any queries and have set university days where we can ask questions and gain support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It helps a lot due to it being a lot more academic you learn the theory a lot more in university rather than just doing your job in placement
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
We have networking get together's with our cohort and also sometimes projects based on getting extra skills gained
