I do not enjoy the long blocks away from Home. I would rather them be week blocks (which it is 2nd year and above.)
How much support do you receive from your employer?

They fund my courses on top of my qualification an are really helpful. However, since coming back to site you do not hear much from the early careers team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I received a lot when in Leeds, but have not heard anything since being back at site.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I think it would have been beneficial to teach us things of the curriculum, such as excel.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are lots on offer however they clash with my personal activities
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAM to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Supportive Company with lots of perks.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAM?
I would say be prepared to be chucked into the deep end, although this I see as a positive. You have to think on your feet and be confident.
