Combat Systems Higher Apprentice Review

My current role involves working in the networking team for one of the new projects being undertaken by BAE Systems Maritime. This role consists of designing, implementing and testing various networks.

I have improved my networking and software development skills. I have also gained further experience of working with a customer.

The team I work with are very helpful and knowledgeable. I have enjoyed all my placements and found them all interesting.

I feel fairly valued at BAE. Although what you can and can't do does sometimes seem to be restricted by the "Apprentice" tag;

The programme is very well organised and structured with our college and placement development working we hand in hand.

The college we used are very helpful and answer any queries.

All the placement managers have given a lot of help throughout the program

The wage is good for an apprenticeship

Yes there are plenty of activities such as football, badminton and social events.

Yes

It is a highly respectable business with plenty of opportunities

I would advise to give as much detail as possible about yourself and also ensure you research the company and its products before the assessment day
