Training & Personal Development at BAE Systems

Systems Engineering, persuasive presentations, technical writing, safety thinking.

I recently took a voluntary three day internal training course on Systems Engineering. The course material was fascinating and well taught through relevant anecdotes based on the instructor's work in the company.

Again, have had limited experience with this, however they do seem to provide quite a good training program throughout the graduate program. I am yet to attend any formal training sessions specific to my field.

ASDEFCON contracting suite training, and all the onsite training to train you in the BAE systems functions which is complex and thorough

Lots of internal and external training courses. Engineering product safety, work health and safety, systems engineering, technical writing, software training

I have only received informal training to date (online video/multiple-choice)

So far have seen the inductions and start of the graduate development program which looks good. General knowledge but no skills training so far. There is a significant focus on personal and professional development through future courses though.

Lots of opportunity to attend internally hosted training in various fields.

Completed a week and a half of training with varying mediums of communication.

All trainings develops my knowledge and practical experience

I have already completed an engineering course on the company time and there are other planned throughout the year.

Grad. Development training - company structure.

Had the opportunity to complete a Diploma in my field. Given time during work to complete this qualification.

Generic training is average. Function specific for me in my current team has been good and useful but is from the management's initiative there, can't comment on others

Good mix of training

Robust training program

Inductions were great as it gives insight to how the company operates. However, formal training are totally another high standard.

in over two years I've had 1 x 2 day formal training course - pathetic. All you hear of is 'On the Job training' - which basically meant sit at your desk and work it out yourself - as a grad this is unacceptable.

Internally there is plenty of training, however it would be nice if there was a little more structure to it.

technical communication, various engineering training courses,
