9/10

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

It has helped to an extent, but I don't feel like it has helped completely. Its hard to find something which can supply everything you need. You get most of the correct help from work.

Yes

9b. Why?

I fell like they are a good business to work for and they actually care about your success and they are willing to help you were its needed and when you ask for it. I feel that they have helped me a lot and I'm happy to be working in a company like this.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BMW Group?

Be yourself, having personalities in work are important and if you are able to show a difference in comparison to others then you already have a chance. Make sure you do all the things they ask for. For example watching a video about the company, because they will ask about it
