QA Apprenticeship Training Sucks - Anyone else thinks the same?

Posted by 1whatabeautifulday@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 3 comments

Hi,

So I am doing an apprenticeship at an IT company and the training is done by QA QA's Tech, Digital & IT Apprenticeships. I have to say 80% of all the courses are bad, outdated and incredibly unorganised. It's borderline at I think they are running a scam, cutting down costs and milking government benefits. I have complained multiple times to my employer, but unfortunately, they don't listen mainly because the head of HR used to work at QA.

Does anyone else have the same experience?

bit late to the party but yes they are dreadful when it comes to training delivery. One wonder how they are able to still exist after all this time.

heyy- is the support and guidance of the course training that is bad?

Let's put it this way: if you have already working knowledge of what the course is covering directly or indirectly, you will probably not learn anything new.

And that's where the delivery fails hard – learning how to install a tooling for a specific tech stack without really adapting to your existing environment is completely unprofessional when such knowledge can we gained by a few peoples in your company and diceminated accordingly.

The last couple of time I had the displeasure of having those trainings, I've found myself twiddling my thumbs most of the time.
