  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I feel my programme is well structured with GK Apprenticeships as well as with Siemens. With GK I've been informed of different elements of my course which I don't understand and going forward looks clear. With Siemens they allow me team to gain my 20% off the job

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I feel my qualification helps the understanding and performance in my role because of new topics in which I learn and therefore can apply. Only issue is with the some of the theory I find it complicated and difficult to understand. The E-Learning platform is outdated and difficult to understand

  • 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 get involved in near to none extra curricular activities because I know of very little which goes on. Us as a team tend to only go out on social activities at key times of the year (e.g. Christmas) however would be good if could be more extra-curricular things to do.

    5/10

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • The chance to work in a professional global company like Siemens is an opportunity which doesn't come along often. If offered a job this puts you in a great stand point to move up through Siemens or through any business. Would Recommend


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Siemens?
  • I would suggest that any apprentice trusts the process and carries it through this is because can be complicated to understand at the start however will become much more simpler to understand.
