  • 9a. Would you recommend eXmoor pharma concepts to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • I dont feel like this company is in a position to provide the best training opportunities for apprentices. They need to really rethink the structure of the apprenticeship at work and the apprentices roles. General attitude towards apprentices is not pleasant and I feel like there is a huge lack of respect and care for our feelings etc. I wold go for working for a bigger organisation such as a pharma which would provide many more opportunities and specilisation.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to eXmoor pharma concepts?

    • Really consider all your options first
