Pros
The location in the heart of London industry and the connection with a range of clients and businesses. Meet a good group of people during my time which helped get through the process
Cons
The lack of motivation from the teachers as they seem fed up of teaching the same subjects to people. During the weeks the teachers would have no enthusiasm when explaining the topic and seem dull from their own voice explaining the topic During my time doing the training it was difficult keeping up to date with the subjects as learning excel and sql was completely new tasks for me and it was very challenging to complete within a week especially when it includes doing retakes. There should have been more one to one as it would have helped when completing the tasks There was no explanation that each retake is only 2 attempts and it was a struggle keeping up as I didn't get much help from the teachers as they were too busy to sit down with me to go through it. I was extremely frustrated that I spent so much money relocating down and sacrificing my job for this opportunity as it was an career I was looking to progress in but I was not given enough support during the training period that would benefit me to get through the process. I was travelling on the weekend to serve my notice at my previous job and there is no financial support for that, I explained to them that I will need to travel for work but they questioned me and said did I go for a job interview I am very annoyed with the bursary system as it is unfair to just give £20 a day especially if I am moving all the way to London and relocating and investing everything into the company, there should be more financial support given and understanding that people are sacrificing everything to come work for your company, You should be able to give a little back to the people you are investing in. Yes the training is 20k but from my time there I guarantee it is not 20k and it is a lot less for you to teach us excel and sql, You are just a money making company who do not care about people's well being On my first day, a member of senior management picked me apart on my interview skills, making fun of my skills and it made me feel unwelcomed at the company and it was very demoralizing to be picked apart in front of the rest of the group on the first day
