  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Truthfully the whole apprenticeship is not that well structure and the college struggle to do there part especially with communication and marking work or giving infomation. However on site they do hold up there end of the barging and give jobs and learning opportunities.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I dont think that it has really helpped at all as the training provider isnt good and there is alot of things they could do better. I have learnt more being on site and forgot most of what I learnt in college as it was dragged out over a long period of time with lots of useless information.

  • 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 some but I haven't really heard or been invited to many.

    5/10

  • 9a. Would you recommend NRS to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because I feel like the company its self can be very relaxing and the work load isn't to much to handle giving you a good balance and creating a better work environment. However there are some problems and things that I would say to them when talking about the company that lets it down.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NRS?
  • Come into it with a open mind as things problem wont be as you expect and be prepared to have to find information and things out you self as communication can often fail.
