Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

I’m an electrical apprentice so I’m learning to make and fir the electrical components of helicopters .Within my the first year you are at college completing your level 2 knowledge and competency qualifications. One is practical covering subjects like sheet metal, composites, electrical and a little bit of CAD. Those days are college days and start at 8:30am and end at 5pm.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I enjoy my programme a lot , I enjoy the fast pace and high work load as well as the variety in what I do.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have learnt a lot about how business works as well as an abundance of practical skills in several subjects. I have also learnt about aerodynamics, maths,science and a couple of other subjects.

5/5

It’s structured really well our lessons are done to suit our courses and when on site we are in rotations so that we get a wider variety of experience.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

The employer is great, we have as much help as needed from our trancing manager and we even have an occupational health centre on site.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

Our training provider is also great and willing to answer questions no explain things in different ways to help us understand.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

I think it helps will our roll a lot. It means we get the basic skill sets and understanding for most things our employer does and we then get to expand in our specialist areas.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

Yes we have a lot of extra curricular activities. There is the AWASA who do charity fundraisers and apprentice events as well as the sports centre where their are many teams available .
