4. How valued do you feel by NatWest?

Structured well - could perhaps been given more information before it started.

6/10

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

Well up until recently contacted someone higher up to say had been having an issue but things are much better now. Shouldn't have had to chase up and complain I feel though, currently as the situation sits I'd say 7/8 as contact I do have has been useful and information but as a whole will rate it how I feel it has been

3/10

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Loads, colleagues in the office are very supportive

10/10

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

Is the best paid apprenticeship around when comparing with friends in other companies and for our age a well-paid job. Experience and good money so would say this is a high point. Obviously can never have too much money but for what it is, is very good

8/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

In terms of enrolling in clubs and such yes I believe so but something I haven't fully looked at so unsure on what to give.

6/10

9. Would you recommend NatWest to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Great company, incredibly welcoming and friendly people within the organisation so you feel happy to go to work. Many career paths and opportunities as its such a huge organisation so could try your hand in many different things which is something which excites me and would with many others. Definitely 100% in comparison to other apprenticeships and university as the opportunities given without racking up 3 years worth of debt are more beneficial I feel.

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

Take opportunities to go and try new things when you can and just be friendly and happy, if so everyone will replicate the same emotions with you.
