Degree Apprentice Test Engineer Review

I create and test applications. These tests are done to ensure when a application is released it is very unlikey to break. I also aid in automation which makes these tests faster so the company can do more tests in a given day these automation tests are combined with manual testing to ensure the application works as intended.

I have learnt and developed many skills since my start date. I have developed my skills in Java, HTML and CSS. I have also learnt new languages such as Ruby and Python. I have also learnt JUnit testing as long with a few other miscellaneous pieces of software and tools

I really enjoy the programming aspect of this program as is something i am passionate about. Due to the nature of the program i am on i get to learn alot more about programing and do it on a day-day basis which is one of the many reasons i decided to join this program. Over all i really enjoy the program i am on

The program is well structured in my option. As all the information you need is easily accessible and there are plenty of friendly people you can ask if you have any questions. From the beginning of the program i knew exactly what i was going to do as we have a one week introduction which fully explained everything. We also have a 8 week boot camp where started our degree and learnt alot of new skills

I receive a reasonable amount of support from my employer. Enough that i feel comfortable with what i am doing but not too much that i am not learning anything. Over all i feel that they have structured the support system really well. As well as having processes in place to allow you to easily reach out to get extra support if/when needed

We get reasonable support from our training provider however not to the extent as me employer. They are happy to answer any questions/query's you have however they do take some time in doing so. However every one is very friendly and keep to help if you are struggling. I feel like a few more days a year of on-site training (at Aston) would be useful

I feel it helps me preform better at my role really well as to date everything that they have taught me. I have been able to actively apply in my role at the company. They also give you access to tools which help you better understand the topics you are undertaking. As such you can use these tools to help refresh/remind you of how to do something correctly. Which makes applying what they teach really easy. Over all i feel like the qualification they provide has helped me tremendously in my role

Yes there are training courses you can oped in too which help you advance your skills. There are also many events/groups you can get involved in where activity are arranged. Their are many opportunities to network with your peers and outside personal. Over all their are a vast array of extra-curricular activities you can get involved with

Yes

Its a really friendly environment, Every one is really keen to help you lean and to grow you as an individual. They understand what you are capable off and encourage you to grow and learn new things. They have a huge support network so you never feel like you are struggling and you are regularly reviewed to ensure you have the support you need

Do it, its a really good organisation to be apart with. They genuinely care about you and want you to do well. If you really want to go far in Capgemini you can as long as you push your self to do so. It is really easy to work your way up the ranks if you put the effort in. The application process can be long but be honest and most importantly be your self.
