Tech Degree Apprentice Review

As an apprentice, a lot of my work was training, as well as using my coding skills to automate certain tasks for my team.

I had the opportunity to learn how to code in Google Apps Script and how to use Alteryx, but I also developed my Javascript programming skills.

So far, my experience has been great! A lot to learn in a friendly and welcoming environment.

I think the programme is well organised, however, TDAs have quite different experiences depending on the team they work in. In that sense, I believe the structure of the programme could offer a little more stability.

The support that is available to us has been remarkable, I feel very well informed and comfortable asking for help at any time.

Most of the training was self-study, however, we are provided with many opportunities to ask questions and get help if needed.

There is a lot of helpful training out there, of course coding and software using skills are very helpful, but also learning about job practices like Agile, for example, can really improve your work.

Yes! We have many activities, from TDA socials to events with the entire Birmingham office or even firmwide activities like the pantomime show!

Yes

I believe it's an incredible opportunity to gain work experience during your degree, network and develop your skills.

I encourage everyone to apply to this apprenticeship, regardless of their prior experience with computer science.
