  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy it because the people I work with are great. The work is not that good as is repetitive and only shows you a small section or the process. Bt is a great company and working for them is good as they have lots of perks. I feel that is met my expectations and I do enjoy it.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The building does not quite know how to handle the apprentices so have thrown them to a job. Which is good because they have no the job training which I find better but they didn't quite know if we should be moved about and was not very structured. good introduction because the team is friendly. training on the job poor. Good support from people.
