  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have learnt various new skills which I did not know before. During the nvq I have learnt how to use different software programs which I was unsure of how to use in the past. Work wise I have learnt how to successfully commission a whole PON that has been built.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I don't find it that enjoyable as I like to be outside and not stuck in a classroom all day. The good thing is that our assessor is very good at his job and always helps us with things if we ever need him to which is a positive thing

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • We receive a lot of support because our assessor is always willing to help you out when you're stuck on any of the modules. The support is sometimes much needed because sometimes you get stuck on a certain question and the assessor will help as much as he can.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • The qualification will help me perform better in my role because I have learnt how to use many different pieces of computer software which I did not know how to use properly before I started my nvq. These skills do really come in handy as I have to use these softwares on a daily basis.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • I am unsure if there is any extra curricular activities at my work. I do know that we are able to get discounts on selected days out, spas, gym memberships, cinemas, restaurant meals and things like that. I do think it would be great to have a football team at my work place.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT?
