Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Spectating others do electrical jobs and then completing those jobs by myself with supervision with constructive feedback, maintenance of electrical components and fittings/ install new equipment.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy learning as much as I can and practising for the future jobs, I enjoy doing jobs by myself that I have learnt how to do from others.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt how to terminate cables, test and fault find, also trace circuits.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is organised, i work 4 days a week and go to college to learn once a week. It's a good balance between theory and practical.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
If I am in need of support I will ask and I will get the help I need, the key is to ask.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I get a lot of support from my training provider inside and out of college days and hours, if I am ever stuck I can ask for help and they tell me what I am aiming for and give me targets to reach.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me understand what I can already do physically and I understand the theory behind it all which goes together nicely.
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
There currently isn't any that I am aware of but during work I have made friends and organised things for outside of work to do, such as going to the gym, etc.
