FAQs

Can I work towards professional qualifications?
There are often opportunities to get extra qualifications on our graduate programme. Please read the role overview pages in the programme section for more information.

If there’s not a qualification as part of your programme but you feel it is important to your career at BT, let us know once you’ve joined. We’ll look into the business case for us investing in the extra training.

As you talk to people in BT you’ll hear many of them have completed a range of qualifications here.

Can I move around within BT?
The amount you move around when you join us will depend on which area of the business you work in. Some areas offer structured rotations, working in different teams every 6-9 months. You’ll find out more about this if you apply and spend some time with us at an Assessment Centre.

If you join more of a specialist programme (like in our technology stream), it’s much more likely you’ll spend time in your programme role really mastering it and learning your trade to become an expert. So you’ll have the opportunity to take on real responsibility quickly.

How is my progress monitored?
From the start, your manager will measure your performance against your personal and team objectives. You'll have regular performance reviews with your line manager to get feedback, talk about how you're doing and for you to show how you're meeting those objectives.
