i receive positive support from my manager and any questions and issues i have are always answered

10/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

very little, we aren't given much help or information when it comes to course work. We are expected to just use the internet to answer them which gets very confusing.

3/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It doesn't feel like what we do at college relates much to what we do at the manufacturing plant.

5/10

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.)

There are some activities available. However i feel like these activities arent advertised enough

5/10

9a. Would you recommend BMW Group to a friend?

9b. Why?

It feels very boring and unorganized As everyday is the same, 8 hours in a factory doing the same thing over and over again

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group?

If your someone whos enjoys working in an area where your doing the same thing constantly then rolls Royce is perfect for you. If your someone that gets bored easily and need constant stimulation then i would not recommend rolls Royce.
