    9/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have learnt some good skills around strategy and financials relating to business.

    8/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • It is enjoyable, although for a Master's level apprenticeship isn't too difficult. I was expecting it to be more challenging and cover some topics in more detail.

    5/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • It is well structured and organised but the communication of what we have to complete and when isn't clear at times.

    7/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • I get a lot of support from my employer when I have lecture days or an assignment upcoming.

    10/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • 6/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • I would say the topics are good and cover a wide basis of useful content. I would like them to go into a bit more details for it to be more useful. The content seems a bit basic for MSc level.

    6/10
  • 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 during a pandemic. A lot of people feel very disconnected during this time. Our team do have occasional social calls which helps.

    5/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Babcock to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It is a great business to work for and there are endless opportunities in a wide range of areas. Overall the business is very supportive and treats their staff well.

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

    • Babcock is a place that is more about the people than anything else. They will hire the people that are right for the position, regardless of who is more qualified etc.
