  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Testing the SAP system. Any changes the client would like will need testing and therefore i review documents and construct scripts which ensure the change works correctly with the whole system. Lastly, gather evidence for the scripts i created so it can be sent back to the business to verify the solution works

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Many skills. I have developed a lot of my technical skills due to how hands on i am on a day to day basis. i learnt most of my testing skills through experience which has helped me accelerate my learning. My inter-personal skills like organization and communication have greatly improved. This apprenticeship has pushed me to reach out to individuals and develop my network. having multiple projects has improved my organization as i changed my approach to include planning.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I enjoy my program very much. there is never a dull moment. the pace of the program is perfect, Having a university program around your work schedule does not overload you with content. Also, the degree is relevant to my job so i am able to take what i learnt into my day to day activities. The job aspect is challenging but beneficial. It allows me to push myself and make mistakes which i will learn from in the future

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • very well organized. When work get's too much, i can take a study day to catch up but that rarely happens. the university course is structured around my work schedule so i can sufficiently balance them. I have a lot of support if i ever need help not only from University but from work too

Any problems i have in my day to day job i can contact someone and instantly get a response. any concerns i have with university they have a large apprentice community too so i always have a hand to help

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • one module is focused my professional practice. This has helped me change my approach to more analytical which identify inefficiencies in my work. along with this, the course has two route. One more technical and the other more business related which give students many possibilities to head down. Each route contains modules that can be applied to work such as business lifecycles or coding

  • 9a. Would you recommend Capgemini to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • there is so many possibilities. as an apprentice you are not held behind or limited. from day one you will be working in tech. All your actions are meaningful, they trust apprentices with completing work to a high standard and from this I've seen may apprentices grow into managers by the end of the course


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
  • Think about what Capgemini stands for. Sustainability and ethics is a big part of the company and we strive to have a comfortable work environment. remember to include others as Capgemini is a heavily community based. Be yourself and demonstrate any technical knowledge you have and how that would apply to the role your applying for
