Apprentice Software developer Review

My role includes going through IT systems and solving problems that may occur with different company's IT servers. I also attend Estio training academy which helps me to develop my skills and bring these back to the workplace. These activities tend to change from day to day and not one is the same.

I have learnt all the skills in which I am currently using from BAE due to the fact I have not come from a IT background and have never worked in this area of work before. They have defiantly helped me to do this effectively and I would have struggled without these skills.

I enjoy everything about the program although it is hard work I have all the support I need to succeed in this program and progress in my career. There are also a huge amount of opportunity's in the business and I have learnt this over the last 3 months.

Extremely well structured with everyone knowing what they are going to be doing at least 6 months in advance. They will also ensure that if you do not know what your meant to be doing that they will look into this and get back to you the very same day with something you should be doing.

As a apprentice you defiantly do receive a large amount of support from BAE no matter what you need help with they will do their best to support you. I have approximately 5 different apprenticeship managers all over the country for support if I would need this, I have contact with them all.

I have experienced a huge amount of help from our training provider, this is because I managed to fail one of my exams but they have put a huge amount of support into place to ensure that I am to pass it next time. I would like to thank estio very much for this.

This has definitely helped me 100% before I went into this apprenticeship I knew nothing about software development. The training provider helped me to gain a base understanding about programing and also coding, I needed this in the workplace and it benefited me hugely. You need the skills you gain in the workplace at BAE.

A few examples of the extra curricular activities that we can get involved in are- Go carting, Five a side football, LGBT club, Christmas party's, summer BBQ and also much more. All these activity's are free of charge and great fun. If you were to start working at BAE I would recommend these activity's to you.

Yes

This is a great apprenticeship provider who will help to develop your skills in your specific area whilst also been very warm and welcoming towards new apprentices. They really make you feel welcome and treat you as a employee not just a apprentice. All the staff members have a huge amount of respect for you.

Ensure that you show confidence and teamwork in your applicant day also ensure that you show that you have or can gain the skills needed for the apprenticeship. You will also need to be good at communicating ensure that you show all these skills on your applicant day. But I would really recommend if you see any job at BAE go for this because if you don't have the skills they will help you to obtain these skills.
