  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • You have tons of support as the course does not have many students compared to normal University courses so whilst attending University days the teaching feels more one to one rather than sitting in a huge lecture theatre with many students

  • Like I had already said the company gives you study leave as and when you need more than enough time for you to catch up on assignments if you are behind

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
  • Have a real passion to want to do the job experience isn't needed just raw interest in the field that you are applying to if that is shown you will do well no matter what
