    6/10

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Didn't really have a structure until the last couple of months so found it hard to progress.

    4/10

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Had meetings once every couple of months to talk about the apprenticeship but felt very little progression came from those meetings.

    5/10

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Little to none. The teachers would often not have a structure to lessons. Only a couple of teachers would provide support with the work. It didn't help that the qualification was not relevant to the job role to be able to link some information across.

    2/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • The course was not that relevant and was very hard to be able to link anything to the day to day role. They tended to focus on circuitry based job roles and didn't teach that well either

    2/10

  • 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.)
  • 4/10

  • 9a. Would you recommend Kier Group to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I feel that the support from the apprenticeship side of things is too minimal. So probably not for an apprenticeship role.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Kier Group?
  • Maybe not to look at the apprenticeship role
