Agree nor Disagree - Very good experience when moving placements every 6 months because it allows the opportunity to develop new skills and experiences, and find out what I like and don't like doing. Sometimes treated like being back in school, different rules and treatment amongst different units.

It's ok - college days and assignment deadlines are well structured and clearly organised. However, some areas can be very poor and structured badly. Documents needed for End Point Assessment became confusing because of miscommunication and not explained well. Approaching different skills coaches meant that information differed massively!

Quiet a lot of support received from BAE as a company - e.g. providing skills coaches to support with college and placements. Some placement managers I had were very poor and I felt very unsupported - they made me feel excluded, not involved with the team, and under valued!!

Not much support received from Pearson - usually pass information onto our skills coaches who deliver it to us apprentices. The skills coaches are the most supportive when it comes to qualifications and ensuring we successfully pass

Doesn't help me much in performing better because the qualification I get won't have much of an impact. I am working towards a Level 3 Business Admin qualification but that won't help me perform better in my role or have an impact like a degree would

Team night outs, Team sports days, STEM events

Yes

Great opportunities for career progression, constantly growing personally and professionally, competitive salary, good pension
