    5/10

    6/10

    • The college is terribly organised... Some simple things are made a lot more complicated than they need to be

    2/10
  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

    • We all have an ITM (Industrial Training Manager) who we can speak to if we have any problems. we also have a meeting with them every few months

    7/10
  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Being at college full time we do not see our managers very often. But if we need support we can contact our ITM

    7/10
  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

    • Very well, but this is because I live minutes away from the college

    6/10
  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

    • The company runs the ELS scheme where we get given £200 every year to do any activity within the scheme.

    7/10
  • 9. Would you recommend JLR to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • Because apprenticeships are by far better than going straight to university. We go to a top ten university, do not pay college or university fees, we learn real world skills and we get paid for all this. we also have a guaranteed job when we finish.

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

    • Research the types of questions you are going to be asked.
