The programme is well organised. YOu spent 3-5 months in different departments to gain knowledge and insight into what goes on and how each department works to support production.

We get a review every 3 months where we discuss what we can achieve, any concern etc. This helps the training provider to provide educational support in case we are lacking in certain subjects.

Every 6 months there is a performance review where your training advisor provides you the feedback based on the placements you have completed and can discuss the plan for the next 6 months.

The salary is quite handsome compared to other apprenticeship. Plus a good pension scheme. Also you cantake part in company car scheme.
