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.)

Yes, me and some of the other apprentices of my age group had the oppurtunity to take part in Go Karting and even a college wide 5 a side tournement!

10/10

9a. Would you recommend BAM to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Everyone is super supportive and they all take alot of time to help you get where you want to and need to be, there are no apprenticeships like it where you get to spend 9 weeks in a hotel with all your friends whilst at college giving you a great work/life balance as well as a university experience as such!

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

Get as much work experience as possible, the best thing before going on site is having an insight to what life will be like post college but also just enjoy yourself, the college blocks are the most fun youll have since school
