  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • We have had lots of on the job training such to do with customer facing skills which has boosted my confidence and makes me feel at ease when interacting with customers. We've also had external training courses to boost our call stats and to make the customer feel at ease when we're on the call with them through taking a more friendly approach without seeming so corporate.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • The team was very welcoming and I always feel open to asking questions as they are always happy to help. The company as a whole is very welcoming, no matter what department and this allows you to move around much easier and explore what routes you want to take in the future. I am definitely enjoying it as a whole.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • This apprenticeship is one of the highest paid ones I've seen which easily covers my costs as I don't have to spend that much due to not living along, it also can easily cover my travel costs and daily food costs etc.

    10/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • There are many events we can apply to which we can find on BT websites which allow us to explore different parts of the company and hear different people stories which we can then use to motivate ourselves or can use these events to find support or guidance on what you want to do in the future.

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • I felt very welcomed when I joined BT and everyone I've spoken to has been very nice which made my experience as a whole very good. The apprenticeship is also one of the highest paid ones which I said so if you are looking at a jumpstart in salary this would also be the way to go.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT?
  • BT's main focus now is on the customer and teamwork so I would say focus on them two points when applying so you can have a better chance at getting a job offer.
