How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

Due to being in a large organisation, I think it fitted well however I was doing a software developer apprenticeship while being in a cloud security role. I made it work and so did my manager however we had to get some help from other teams so I could meet my goals!

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Lloyds Banking Group to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I would 100% recommend LBG… I have no worked here for 9 years! And the last 2 have been the best as I got the opportunity to make a career change and undertake a L4 apprenticeship in a new area. This has now opened a lot more opportunities for me and my future.
