1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I build the network with my colleagues using mechanical aids put cable into the network whilst remaining safe at all times. We also pull out old copper cables

9/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Learned how to be safer when working. How to use tools that I haven’t used before and how to work neater due to the need to make all work presentable and work to a high standard.

9/10

9/10

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

I receive a lot of support if I have any questions then I can contact [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] and he helps me should I need it

9/10

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

I feel like the qualification is not geared solely towards telecommunications and is pretty basic in terms of what I needed to do. One module was using the internet and how to access. There could be more modules on how to better understand the network

4/10

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.)

Not that I am aware of

9/10

9a. Would you recommend BT to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It is a brilliant company to work for. I have a good work life balance and. Or every company will give you everything that you need to do your job and the amount of tools, equipment and training is out of this world

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

To just accept that it’s a massive organisation and that it sometimes takes longer than what people are used to for responses. It can be overwhelming the information but workplace and the A-Z has everything to find out any questions you have
