Digital Technology Degree Apprentice Review

Development of applications, documentation of software modifications, providing training to other developers, communicating with stakeholders, completing training courses and certifications.

Significant development of programming skills, using industry best practice. How to produce meaningful documentation. Development of communication skills with others, presenting, speaking, etc. How to work effectively as a team using different methods and techniques.

I very much enjoy the programme, it has a great structure with fantastic support to all other apprentices. It also provides many opportunities to work with stakeholders and participate in events and view equipment.

Very organised, reviews are set in place, you know what you have to do to finish the apprenticeship and what skills and behaviours are expected at the end. Great supporting staff to help through the apprenticeship.

I receive a lot of support, the organisation has a dedicated team with many roles that are there to improve our schemes and provide support. We regularly talk with our managers and I feel that I am getting frequent check ins to ensure that I am doing okay.

Good support from the training provider, we have an assessor that is set up by them who is there to check that we are on target with our university work and aligned with our normal working role.

Very much so, this is a key point that is talked about a lot, the organisation is very conscious to ensure that normal work and the academic qualification are aligned.

There are many networks that you can get involved with and target are easy to do so, there are also lots of sporting clubs throughout the organisation. Social events are frequent within your team as well.

Yes

Amazing structure with countless opportunities to see things, develop as a person and become highly competent within your designated role.

Don’t be afraid to take on takes or opportunities that you are unsure about, I have found that most of the time I will look back and they have been great for my development as a person or professional.
