  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

  • 9a. Would you recommend Waterman Group to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • This company isn’t too big where you’re just a number but a valued employee. Speaking from the people I have worked with they’re very supportive and always understand that you are learning and are always helpful especially if you need help with uni work.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Waterman Group?
  • In your interview - just be yourself. Don’t be afraid if you are uneducated in the field, that’s what an apprenticeship is for, to learn and work at the same time.
