    8/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

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

    • The programme is fairly enjoyable but helps if you have interest in the business

    7/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The structure of the programme is not very good. I've had no placement before and been shoved into a placement that wasn't right for me and had nothing to do with the job role.

    • Adequate support

    7/10

  • 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 NVQ helped me outline how to conduct a professional report however not much to do with my working role.

    5/10
  • 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 probably is but its not widely shown and due to covid nothing is going on at this point in time.

    6/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend BMW Group to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • I came into this business with the idea that it was going to be strict and professional. Although I don't dislike working here, I would not recommend due to the inorganization and structure of the apprenticeship

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

    • Bring a strong topic to speak about for the interview
