  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • My programme is very intersting and I have met several people who are on the same programme as me and we have built a network. However the course is somewhat dis organsised and has several mis communnicaitions with our company over dates and time of webinars etc. As well as the completion date of our course.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • there has been lots of miss comunications. every webinar is led by a different tutor so have not been able to build a relationship with anyone from the college side in terms of key contacts beyond my development coach who only has an overall role to check I am on track no specifc content/assignment support

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • My employer is very supportive, I have one day a week dedicated to study time. Although this is difficult to balance and can very easily get distracted with work to do. However my colleges are all very supportive in giving me an of their knowledge I can use toward assiments and ensuring i have completed enough work based tasks that I can align to my modules

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • as it is a large established company I have the security and support I need in an apprenticeship. I can see a clear career progression and have the oportunity to try lots of new opporunities before deciding on my final role. It is a good place to find your feet as a young new to work person


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT?
  • Do some research into the wider parts of BT that are less known, it wasn't until I worked here that I released we were more than WIFI. Just becuase its a large company doesn't mean its scary and too difficult, it is actually more supportive and keen to help young people and hear your new ideas
