3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the program as it gives me the chance to learn a real-life job skill when I am in the office and allows me to go home and learn new things that I can bring into work the next day to help me day-to-day.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

It is very well organised. We receive emails from Aston university on a regular basis informing us of upcoming work and other things that are going on and we have access to all of the lectures for every module and can directly contact a lecturer if we need to.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It has given me the technical understanding that I have been able to use at work so that I can get involved with some of the more technical tasks so that I can understand everything that is going on.

There is always social events for apprentices and graduates and they are always pushing for you to atten these events so that you can meet new people and branch out into the wider Capgemini.
