3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

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

I am given my required 20% of employed time for study as well as the support from my manager and HR team when it gets closer to assessment time where I am often able to take a little extra time away from work.

7/10

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

My qualification allows me to identify my skills and opportunities to develop in the workplace. There are some terms where my learning doesn't relate to my job as much as other but this is expected.

7/10

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 are loads of extra activities to get involved with at BT. Whether that be socials after work, customer events, school/apprentice events to promote BT or the opportunity to be a part of the charity sports teams.

9/10

9a. Would you recommend BT to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I think it is an amazing company to work for with so many benefits. Within the offices there are always people around to help with the tech side which is super convenient as we really deep into the Digital Age.

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

Be yourself. Everyone at BT is unique and has there own ways to shine. Don't try to be someone else as BT are looking for the people that stand out.
