  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy my programme massively, I do enjoy going to college and am looking forward to going back to Heathrow to work in the hangars. Aswell as going to college because of the new skills I learn and develop. It is also good because the people I work with are a great part of the programme

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I believe my programme is well structured because nothing has fell through so far and I haven’t had any major issues that have effected me in terms of the course structure so therefore I believe that it is a well structured course. I also think it was well organised when they were sorting out our accommodation

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Our training provider is supportive while doing and working towards my modules. For example we are constantly being monitored and we have to fill out review sheets which track our standard and ensures we also feel like we have the right level of knowledge and feel supported by our instructors

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I believe it does help our perform better for example to get the licence we have to complete modules and we are unable to get the licence without the training providers so therefore I believe it is a vital part to our apprenticeship which helps us perform better in my role

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • We have a football team that we play every Thursday after work. The football team is a 5 a side team so we also do work well as a team. I also think this helps bond the team together so that the friendships that occur on this apprenticeship are stronger. However I think I could do mroe

  • 9a. Would you recommend British Airways to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because they are a very supportive company to work with and also that provide a great opportunity for the apprentices once you have got onto the course. I also think they offer some brilliant work experience for example before we came to the training providers we were in the hangars and I believe they were a brilliant experience


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to British Airways?
  • Be confident and ensure you always perform your hardest especially through the interviews. For the interviews, try and be a team leader in activities however also listen to what others say to ensure you include everyone. Also if you have any previous work experience or experience in general make sure you mention it as it looks really good.
