Although sometimes difficult to manage both study and client work, i enjoy the programme. Team is supportive and help if im unsure about something from college. Surpassed my expectations as I didnt think i would be given as much responsibility

Some internal recognition, not much client recognition is fed back to lower grades Snr staff do make you feel valued if you have gone the extra mile on a project

First year of the programme so some teething problems, but based on the new intake it seems well structured for the future - not many people knoew about the scheme in the office so alot of time was spent explaining it. Good general scheme induction, answered questions and immediate training given. People manager incredibly supportive as well as team and close bonds with peer group helps

Most tutors accessible outside of college, but I prefer to use the study notes and ask colleagues. Link exams are very helpful and in college tutors explain well.

People manager helpful, but most support comes from my team and peers on similar schemes

Working in London is costly and its is too expensive relative to my salary to live in London, therefore cost of commute is around 25% of salary. For the work carried out, relative to charge out rate as well as to the grad scheme, I feel apprentices should be paid more

lots of socials and team-building/networking events

Yes

great opportunity

prepare and make sure you understand the scheme and have a good knowledge of the company have reasons as to why you are applying
