  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • overall I would have to say I enjoyed my experience as it got my foot into the door, and gave me the basic skills to be able to go on and be a competent work colleague. I do however feel there is not as much involvement in the apprenticeship scheme to warrant the low pay.

  • 9a. Would you recommend Dixons Carphone to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would advise them to join as a standard colleague, not as an apprentice. The wage structure is far to low for the amount of work you actually do. There is very little difference between a full time colleague and an apprentice


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Dixons Carphone?
  • Dont go as an apprentice
