  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My programme is very well structured which is shown through my passport booklet that is used to see my progress and to set more goals. I also think it is very well organised due to continuous opportunities us apprentices are offered including trips out like high borrons for 5 days! and the training sessions to help us develop skills.

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • id recommend an apprenticeship at Engie as it has prepared me a lot for the working life since coming straight from sixth form. It has taught me lots of new skills and helped me develop many. Engie helps you make relationships that are for life, with the staff always wanting to support you. Engie has helped me massively when it comes to my career and my future.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Equans?
  • Id give the advice to just apply for Engie and to be yourself throughout the whole process. This is what will differentiate you from others and allow you to stand out. I would also give the advice to have good punctuality and time keeping as the last thing you want to be is late throughout any of the process. The last piece of advice is that you wont regret it!
