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

    • A fair bit - we always know safeguarding information but I wish there was more support for London apprentices to experience placements or new opportunities for extended periods of time (as other apprentices across the country have placement oppertunities), especially as I didn't feel fully informed about what my role in my department would be before joining (e.g. I would have picked a more production heavy role rather than post production, even though I am enjoying my placement)

    6/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • It was good initially as I had zero industry experience, however recently I am finding it is taking away time from valuable job experience that can actually hinder me at work - for example I started taking on projects myself but had to abandon them to go on a training week, where I learnt pretty much the same topics that I had learnt before. However it is nice to have a break from stress on training days

    6/10
  • 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 there are regular social events

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

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • It is a stable and friendly place to work

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