BT Apprenticeship 2015

You not had contract yet?

Hi just wondering if open reach roles are the same as "network engineer" ?

My boyfriend is starting at yarn field next Sunday but doesn't know if his role as a network engineer is the same as open reach?

Also does anyone know how long he might be at yarn field for if his apprenticeship title is network engineer with no specific mention of open reach?

Thanks.

Yeah it will be in openreach, is it for a field engineer job?, I'm in service delivery (fibre and copper) my line of work is dealing with customers, I can imagain with network engineering he'll be more involved with laying cables and renewing them, or putting cables into new build sites, then the final install will be passed onto us guys.
I was at Yarnfield / buddying with an engineer over the course of just over 2 months, Yarnfield 1 week, local buddying for 2 weeks, then at Yarnfield for a further 4 weeks (home at weekends) Yarnfield isn't really learning about the job, it's more how to work safely, you do a lot of classroom based activity (electrical principles, some safety courses, do some safe working qualifications,street works lighting and guarding course) climbing of poles, operating of machinery...
But closer to the time he'll get put into a group call and everything will be explained, I know what it's like, there's no point ringing and asking what's going to be happening, because more than likely the organisers won't know either, he'll find everything's last minute and badly planned, and he can only go along with it. But it's only for 2 months and he'll get fed, paid, a hotel, fuel paid (and a van and iPhone if they're organised enough) then it's over for good.

Its deffo not an engineering job.
Its one of the jobs you do not need an driving license for its office works. So its not engineering nor is it maintence etc. Wierd its under information technology.

The email they sent me said you will be doing this
1) inteview
2) q and a
3) group assessment

So i find its conpletely different i find it a bit wierd that !! Lol

Fourthly how much have you enjoyed the apprenticeship and would you recommend?

So many questions sorry

Thanks for taking time to reply! Also what days are the apprenticeship or are they different every year?

Not a engineering apprenticeship, I was on the advanced business and IT stream.

Graduated last year into a 3rd line team within IT support.

It was hard work but really worth it. Any questions just shout.

I start week after you!

Do you usually work weekends on apprenticeship?
