BAE Systems provides a massive amount of support to its apprentices and there are numerous people to contact in the company if I require support.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

To an extent, I believe the qualification helps me to perform in my role, however most of my learning is done throughout the workplace and sometimes it is not clear where the university lessons can be applied to the workplace.
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
We have a variety of social activities at work - I engage in badminton and attend all organised socials. Social events are regularly organised and can involve activities such as bowling.
