To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I am so pleased that I have taken this route into my career, it was 100% the right career choice for me over traditional university as I appreciate the value of working and applying real time work experiences to my classroom learning.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Definitely learnt lots of new skills! really pushed my understanding and how to develop personally!
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
It has got better over time as the increase in population and size of team.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
So much, it is about understanding what you want and need and how to leverage that with your work, I cannot fault bp's support though, it is always there when I have asked for it which is the main thing!
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
You have to be very self driven on an apprenticeship as it is up to you to keep yourself on track. I have struggled at times, but if you push for support you do get it eventually.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I think it supports my understanding about why we do what we do, I am glad I have my degree, but having the practical application of the learning along side my role is what is most beneficial.
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
Definitely - there are so many, and as someone who moved away from home for my apprenticeship it was a massive help for me to gain new friendships and a support system around me while I started this new journey. I have learnt lots from all of my extra curricula activities which have helped me within work as well.
