  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • We receive a lot of support from our training provider (college) as we are there four days a week. this allows us to have a large amount of interaction with them.

    10/10

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • The salary is good although travel costs are high. the location of work makes it hard for me to get here on a daily basis until I can drive. my living costs are covered by my salary also.

    7/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • there are a few opportunities outside of work although they are closed off to those who cannot drive as they find it very hard to get to these events.

    6/10

  • 9. Would you recommend Leonardo to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • because it is a good place to work with a friendly atmosphere and very good employment options. although it is awkward to get to for me.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Leonardo?
  • one tip is to only apply after you can drive, as if you do not live close it means you will have to travel far for college and work.
