    • 9/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • Gaining hands on experience prior to actually going into the role is hugely beneficial compared to going to university where the work is mainly theoretical. Also having your salary linked to your performance is sure to make you work harder at things you arent so good at

    • Currently difficult due to the COVID19 situation

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

    • make sure to not just go straight into the quiz, look online to see if you can find any practice. Also make sure for your interview you have things that you have done lined up as well as things you can ask the interviewer
