Test Engineer Appretice Review

I work as a functional tester and my main responsibility is testing new releases. I also maintain our test repository, I train new joiners and I get involved in several other activities that are outside my role. I have meetings with my team on a daily basis and attend scrum ceremonies, such as sprint plannings, backlog refinements.

I have learnet a lot of new skills in the testing space through the courses that I attended and through the experience I gained on my day to day role. I developed a lot of soft skills as well, such as communication and interpersonal skills that help me in my role and as a professional.

Choosing an apprenticeship has been one of the best decisions in my career. I learnt so much through the past almost two years and gained a lot of valuable skills.

In my opinion my programme had a really good structure. I had monthly catch-ups with my apprenticeship coach and learner progress reviews every three months. I also received the schedule of my courses quite early so I knew what to expect in the upcming two years.

I have received full support from my managers, and project leadership.

I received full support from my apprenticeship coach and in general my training provider.

My qualification is definitely helping me in my day to day role. I was able to apply a lot of the knowledge in my work.

I have been involved in a series of givebacks, such as becoming a buddy to a new apprentice, joining Q&A sessions as a panellist, and sharing my experiences about my apprenticeship at different events. I have joined communities and had the opportunity to work alongside wonderful people outside of my day to day role.
