  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • It is organised, i work 4 days a week and go to college to learn once a week. It's a good balance between theory and practical.

    • If I am in need of support I will ask and I will get the help I need, the key is to ask.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • I get a lot of support from my training provider inside and out of college days and hours, if I am ever stuck I can ask for help and they tell me what I am aiming for and give me targets to reach.

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

    • It helps me understand what I can already do physically and I understand the theory behind it all which goes together nicely.

    9/10
  • 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.)

    • There currently isn't any that I am aware of but during work I have made friends and organised things for outside of work to do, such as going to the gym, etc.

    10/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Equans to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • Because Engie is full of surprises and young people need to learn for the world to move on, there is a lot of room for learning and self improvement during the courses.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Equans?

    • I would say just be yourself and be honest, explain your future goals and emphasise your willing to learn.
