  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    7/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Yes, a wide range of leadership and management skills.

    7/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • It is somewhat interesting but is difficult to balance with day-to-day work. Also some of the management of the programme has been poor.

    5/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Somewhat well structured but sometimes key changes have been made without effective communication.

    5/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • One day a week of 'on the job' learning, which I use as a study day.

    8/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • Little direct support on the programme but it is not required. I have mostly been given the time to complete it.

    6/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • At the moment, to some extent. As I progress to more senior positions I think this will improve.

    8/10
  • 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 were before COVID, they have mostly stopped/been paused.

    3/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend British Airways to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • The business is currently lacking a clear strategic direction and large changes are being made day by day, meaning psychological wellbeing is poor.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to British Airways?

    • Be honest and show your passion for the business and industry.
