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

At the start of my apprenticeship my degree was canceled, which set me back a year, however, it has commenced it is much better.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive lots of support from my employer.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
There is support on offer, however it is limited.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
At this current point I do not feel it has had a huge impact, it is more the other way around.
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
Yes, as apprentices we organised lots of events and nights out ect, usually with the interns as well.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would not say there is a clear cut answer to this question, as within my organisation there are many departments with hugely varying roles. With regards to my role, there is no way I would recommend it to someone else, however, for other departments, I absolutely would. As a whole I think the apprenticeship is good. I think I have been unlucky with my training provider and department, but can see that there are other great apprenticeships available in my organisation.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?
I would recommend that people try to reach out to someone in the organisation for advice and make sure they know what they are getting themselves in for. If they are applying for a logistics apprenticeship, I would strongly advise them against it.
