1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am currently a Test Analyst for one of CGI's largest clients working in London. On a day-to-day basis I test applications and carry out reviews of how well these applications fit to client requirements.

4. How valued do you feel by CGI?

I feel valued well. They take care of their staff and are quite flexible with many things, e.g. annual leave, study leave, changing projects, work location.

9/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Not that structured. There are very little apprentices at CGI all in the same place, and completing the course/learning has become an independent experience.
