Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5
I enjoyed and thrived in my role with North, a great team and a perfect environment to learn and develop skills.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
The tutor lead courses were easy to follow and easy to engage with. The team at Baltic apprenticeships were friendly and professional, making each course something I looked forward to sitting.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
At the start of my apprenticeship, I knew only data cabling skills. As the year progressed, I developed enough skills in Network Engineering to be able to competently engage in the role of a network engineer.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5
Made the course very easy to follow, with a fantastic amount of support to get me through EPA.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
The team at North were by far the most supportive employers I have ever had.

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

5/5
Easy to reach out too, easy to follow courses, and excellent EPA support.

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

5/5
This course let me build the groundwork of knowledge I needed to succeed in my role as a network engineer.

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 - but not locally.
