very much
yes, there is a lot of help and support if it is needed.
the training courses are very organised. the at the depot there are some times issues around arrangements but these are easily sorted if you can contact the right person.
theres lots of support available especially from the training providers in portsmouth. they are always available if you need to talk to them about any problems, work related or personal.
the manangers are supportive when they have the time and try to help as much as they can. sometimes it is difficult to get the answers you need and having to constantly ask for the same information can be very frustrating
my salary covers my costs and is a good wage for apprentice level. although i was told that help would available for travel expenses through a company travel card but when I applied for it they said it wasn't valid for my method of travel.
not sure what the question is asking
Yes
its a great scheme and you get to meet lots of new people from all over the country who are in the same position as you. when you arrive at the depot you are made to feel welcome by the staff already here
apply for it, even though you may not know what the job entails.
