    1/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • The job I'll get at the end is good, the apprentice program is a laughable mess. The leadership only pay lip service to feedback and there is a pervasive attitude of 'its not my job'. This leaves power vaccumes that are filled by people who have no business managing anything and think themselves one step short of gods

    1/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The only person who seemed to care was fired and the new structure for the apprenticeship delivery team required them to hire people with no understanding of the businesses, industry or apprentice program

    1/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Support?

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

    • It's a hiderence, could cover everything relevent to my job in a term

    2/10
  • 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.)

    • Yes

    8/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend Babcock to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • I would recommend working there but avoid the apprentice scheme at all costs

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

    • Get your quads elsewhere and get a job afterwards with Babcock. You are literally paid more for the first 3 years by coming in from external that completing an apprenticeship with them
