My apprenticeship is split into a role within Atos, and a learning side with QA. I have a very structured time amount to my apprenticeship, where I get to choose a block of my working week where I get to complete my apprenticeship work.

My costs in petrol to and from work are covered well by my wage, and my car payments are also covered. Not comfortably but they are suitable for a one year apprenticeship. Ok.

Atos don't provide many opportunities outside of work in my area, but in work I have many opportunities that I can use. I am taking part in the Brathay challenge which is providing me with many opportunities.
