Network Vulnerability Analyst Review

Network Vulnerability Analyst Use network vulnerability scanning tools to identify open vulnerabilities across the externally facing estate.

The majority of my skills were learnt on the job. Previous experience in an IT role was none existent. Gained qualifications; CISMP, ITIL, Computer Forensics

The work is challenging and I enjoy working with the other members of my team. I've not had the chance to work in the role I applied for and at this point highly doubt I will which is a huge disappointment. Overall the apprenticeship has been enjoyable but the lack of opportunity to work within the team I originally applied for is disappointing

Line managers have been very good throughout my experience at Lloyds. The first manager for my team (T&VM) was good but since the quality has massively declined to the point whereby apprentices became completely insignificant. Upon finishing the apprentice scheme, the wage rise promised at the end took 2.5 years to finally come to fruition due to a lack of care from team leader

Pretty disorganised until I pressured for a development plan. Since then my career has progressed along nicely and I have been given plenty of opportunities to test and develop my skills.

No issues with the training provider. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] was extremely helpful and even organised for me to finish the apprenticeship programme earlier than intended.

Support from manager was not massively needed

Initially it just about covered my costs, since the wage increase I now have a lot more flexibility with my wage.

Yes, regular external training opportunities, conferences and charity events are available to all colleagues

Yes

It's a great place to start a career and looks excellent on a cv but I believe for IT security roles it pays below the market rate for experienced staff
