Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The End Point Assessment was not structured at all as my intake was the first to partake in an assessment. the Early Careers team did every thing they could but as it was in the hands of EAL very little could be done.
NO transparency from EAL.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
No support what so ever! No transparency between EAL and my company and i believe half of the End Point Assessment has now been scrapped.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5

Yes
Why?
BAE has created a Local financial environment as most all other local jobs do not pay anywhere near what BAE pays, and a lot of money gets put into the local area from the company.
