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

    • Working as a project manager apprentice. Coordinating teams. Dealing with risk and issues and planning.

    8/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • Communication and networking skills have improved. As well as questioning and analysing why.

    9/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I enjoy the programme and project placement a lot. I did think the learning side could be a bit more frequent rather than once every month.

    7/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The project placement and learning side are organised very well. We have rotations so can experience different projects.

    7/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Lots of support from my employer. This is probably the strongest area.

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

    • Support is great during the workshops and calls are good but it is heavily compliance based and could do with more expectation setting.

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

    • To some extent. I think it is heavily based on independent learning so would be good to get slightly more support in this area.

    6/10
  • 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. From bucket collecting to planning BAS Got Talent to raise funds for comic relief.

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

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • Lots of opportunities, lots of exposure to a high level view of the business as I am working in the central transformation team.

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

    • Fully research your chosen course and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
