Pros
My experience on the graduate scheme at NETbuilder has been very good thus far. I was first approached about the opportunity when the academy was located in Worthing at the time I didn't feel it was the right opportunity for me due to some commitments I had. The academy moved to Manchester and the graduate programme started offering a different package. Instead of £400a month living allowance and having to find your own accommodation I was able to be housed in a fully furnished modern apartment in the Heart of Media city completely free of charge, I receive no monthly allowance during training but the only thing really need to buy is food. Although I receive no payments during training I don't struggle to support myself and I look forward to moving on to a full time salary in a couple of weeks time. The atmosphere is vibrant and there is a lot to do in the area outside of work.
Cons
Training can be quite intense at times
