To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have also developed current skills such as problem-solving especially in this current placement where if something goes wrong then we need to find out why.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Overall i would say the programme is very well structured and very organised as there hasn't been a day of work which i have nothing to do. You're also give a lot of different responsibilities which need to be done everyday. And the meetings for these responsibilities it is very organised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from my training provider when working towards my qualifications. For example if i ever have a problem with anything at college which could be about the lessons or the work, or maybe any days which i would need to take off. They are very helpful and understanding
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel like the qualification through my training provider doesn't particular help with me perform better in my role. This is because the work which i am currently doing at college doesn't relate with anything that i do at work however it does help me improve my current skills such as problem solving.
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
There are a lot of different extra activities to get involved in at work for example there are lots of social activities where all the apprentices get together. There are also some sports team which occur everyday Tuesday and Friday which is football. Where i also do attend some days.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?
The tips i would give to others applying to rolls Royce are try as hard as you can to get 5 GCSE however if you are able to learn any German then that would also help a lot as sometimes you get the chance to work abroad in different plants.
