To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

Currently Coding in Python and Pandas, the beginings of SQL, as well as certain data visualisation tools.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5
Some aspects around pacing could be improved, however this is more in relation to the education provider than the company.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
I am consistently afforded meetings and check ups when I have issues.

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

4/5
There is fantastic support in some areas, and a few gaps in others.

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

5/5
Without a doubt there are aspects of my role I could not have done without skills learnt from my education provider.

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, extra company events and opportunities within the company are very frequent, I couldn't go to all of them if I tried.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BBC to a friend?

Yes

Why?

The work ethic and atmosphere are amazing, every colleague I've spoken to are so friendly, genuine and helpful.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BBC?

In interview, ensure you show a genuine side to yourself, on top of enthusiasm for the role.
The person hiring you will be working with you everyday, the less authentic you seem, the harder it is for them to envisage how you will fit into their day to day.
