I feel integrated into my on-site team and my opinions are welcomed by both my work colleagues and management.

The programme is well structured with allocated weeks for college, training courses and onsite training given in advance. The programme is heavily based at the training centre and college during the first two years, gradually moving to more onsite time as the programme nears completion.

You are allocated an on-site mentor who is your first call when requiring support onsite. Your line manager and authoring engineer are also available.

There is a programme manager who oversees your programme from start to finish and is available to provide support on a wide range of topics.
