  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I truly enjoyed my time on the programme. Not only was I the first year the fees went up, this opportunity meant not only was I debt free but I also could combine on the job learning with academia to support my learning

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme was very well structured for me personally, right from induction to the end of the programme. Sometimes it was a bit late getting our textbooks but this did not impact my learning

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • The support was definitely there from the university. They did not help us as much as teachers at A level, but that is normal because it is more of independent learning

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I have always received immense support from my employer because they have always been there when I needed a bit of help or was ready to take on more responsibility

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • Yes loads! There are so many company events to get involved in. Right from the sports and social club to the charity events! I try to get involved in as many as I can

    10/10

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • CGI has been a great experience for me. I have met great friends, taken on increased responsibility but also learnt huge amounts which was supported by my degree. I would recommend this to anyone who feels they could balance work and study


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to CGI?
  • I would definitely say that you need to make yourself stand out in the online application form as this is the first part we see of a candidate. Without doing this we may miss key facts.
