    9/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • There are many days were the work is enjoyable where I feel comfortable and confident with tasks. Also, there are much harder days that come with every work place.

    8/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • The apprenticeship program is fairly well organised within the placements, which gives us a taster for the whole Plant. However, in some scenarios, more time with shifts and associates would only help and improve my confidence.

    7/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • The support I receive from my employer is very good. I have always been able to speak freely with my employer and receive as much support as I could ask for.

    10/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • I receive good support from BMW towards my qualifications, where I have needed help I have always received it.

    9/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • I feel as if there have been a few occasions where this has been applicable. However, for the most part of the learning, I have barely used any of the knowledge yet.

    6/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • There used to be social activities in my first year every week. However, this has since changed and very few events like this happen and they are now very rare.

    5/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend BMW Group to a friend?

    • They are a very prestigious company to work for and it is a great career to get into.

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