  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I think the day-to-day work could be more varied, and there could be more time put aside to do college coursework as a week can go by without any being completed.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • They visit the workplace every few weeks, but I feel they could visit on a more regular basis as some of the time is spent going over what happened on the previous visit and the classroom lessons a lot better for understanding the coursework.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I feel they give me enough support to complete the programme, however more time could be put aside to help with the coursework part of the programme which you can fall behind on quite easily.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Fujitsu?
  • Research the role and ask a lot of questions on what you will be doing on a day-to-day basis as there is a lot more manual handling involved in the role than I had anticipated.
