Rating

5.4/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I am responsible for learning about the product we deliver to the customer. I learn about mechanical engineering primarily with information regarding other disciplines.

    6/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I have developed on current skills and also learned new skills, though not as much as I probably could have if the scheme were more refined.

    5/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • Some sections are enjoyable, some less so. People can be a pleasure to work with or not so enjoyable. I enjoy learning, but do not enjoy the structure of the programme.

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

    • The organisation and structure of the programme are extremely poor, though it has been refined with a more permanent manager.

    3/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Support is provided if required, and are willing to go a bit further to help you out.

    8/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • The training provider will give help and support where possible.

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

    • Not so much, the market is rather niche for the apprenticeship scheme to be totally applicable.

    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.)

    • Non applicable.

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

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • If the scheme were more refined I would refer, however final market salary is not competitive, though other benefits are there.

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

    • Consider options before committing, workload may not be stable.
