3/5
Lots of support - where/when they can
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Minimal support - need a lot more time to study as oppose to working
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
College work is virtually unrelated to our day to day however due to our company i think it would be difficult to teach us academically what we see at work.
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
There are a few set up by interns/apprentices
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BMW Group UK to a friend?
No
Why?
I think they would be better of seeking somewhere with a more progressive career ladder.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group UK?
I would say to apply for as high of a level apprenticeship as possible as level 2,3 and 4 are very difficult to get off the line
