    10/10

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • Overall it has been great. The first 3 years or so were not so great, but the last two years have been fab. I am in my exit role now and I love my job.

    9/10

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Somewhat organised. There has been a lot of change to the structure of the apprenticeship scheme over the past few years - not all changes have been communicated effectively. A lot of trial and error.

    4/10

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • As much or as little as I need - just have to ask for it. It might take a while to get a response, but they always help where they can.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Loads! University of Cumbria have been great! We definitely received more support when we did face-to-face learning.

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

    10/10

  • 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.)
  • Yes, there are lots, not always enough so that everyone gets the same opportunities though.

    6/10

  • 9a. Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
  • No


  • 9b. Why?
  • I feel like over the past few years, the apprenticeship scheme has become about quantity over quality. Too many apprentices being taken on, and not enough support for them.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
  • You need to stand out.
