Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Since starting my maintenance technician apprenticeship with BMW I have learnt a wide range of foundation knowledge that I can use once I start working in the workplace. This ranges from business improvement skills to hand fitting skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

the programme I am currently doing is mainly based in new college Swindon where I learn about the engineering and maintenance side of things. from being there I have seen that they are mostly well structured but can do with some changes. However, these are only slight changes.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

Whilst spending time in new college Swindon it is easy to see that they have a good sense of support available if there are any problems happening.

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

5/5

If a problem occurs within my programme I know that I can approach my training provider with ease to discuss any difficulties or problems I am having during my time.

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 I gain the knowledge that I will need when joining the job role in the future.

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

At work apart from the charity events there arnt so many extra-curricular to take part in after working hours.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I would recommend BMW Group to a friend because since I started here I have gained a lot of knowledge on not only engineering but communicating better to other people. my friends also have similar interests to me so I know they'd enjoy it.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?

If I were to give advice to anyone new joining BMW group I would let them know that the first year of the apprenticeship is overwhelming with a lot of learning everyday especially if you are not used to school environments. it is also a lot of computer work. however it isn't too bad because its all learning we will need to know for our future roles.
