Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

Amazing team and company. Always looking for a future in the company and to push you to your best. Role is hard but becomes rewarding. More practical work would be good however knowledge is required before going through with the practical work the theory side is more important.
The role is crucial and feels important and consists of learning everyday and becoming better at things you wouldn't think exist in IT. The company provides great opportunity with firebrand as well with completing your maths and/or English GCSE.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

The Program is great knowing I have people helping and looking out for me to give me the future I want to aim for including all other apprentices. We are provided with great opportunities to have friends instead of just colleagues and seeing everyone feel appreciated despite the apprenticeship role.
It is very enjoyable and helpful for those looking into an apprenticeship in Computacenter.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Improved on my PowerPoint and Writing down notes/documents in word.
Improved on my Troubleshooting and Identifying issues/parts in a computer in both software and hardware.
Firebrand material and help with colleagues give insight/help into knowledge in networking and computers into how they work and help you develop new skills such as IP Networking and applying new skills into day-to-day activities.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

It is very well organised. Sometimes it feels unorganised however I feel people are trying their best to give us what the best out out of us and to feel happy with the path we are taking.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I receive lots of support. Everyone is supportive and gives me the help I need just by reaching out.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

I receive all the support I need by reaching out to my tutor and manager for help. They always out you first and give amazing support for maths and/or English. GCSE

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

The qualification will help me propel myself into the job role and future I desire in IT.

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

4/5

There are lots of activities such as charity work and reaching out to schools and colleges.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Computacenter to a friend?

Why?

They give me all the support I need and want and hope I stay with the company after the apprenticeship. My future is in high interest and I am looking for job roles for friends and family to consider.
