Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Very organised, training courses are booked in advance. Trip to Wales at the beginning of my apprenticeship was left to be told a bit too last minute.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I feel all support is available if and when needed
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Support is efficient. However, my CPA did take a while to get back to me/ mark my end point assessments as she said she was so busy. I believe she was spoken to about that.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Interacting with people is a lot easier since gaining a customer service qualification.
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
Yes, we work with a charity that you can volunteer to help work for
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?
Yes
Why?
A lot of good opportunities are given in this workplace and there's a job role for everyone to do. Some contracts aren't as great as others so would advise about that. Not being able to have to option to get a car for new employees/ if you switch job roles is a big disadvantage
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?
