Building Services Design Technician Apprentice Review

My typical week would be begin a Monday in the office doing my usual work, this could be on site carrying out a survey, or in the office running some calculations and marking up drawings and creating Tender packages or whatever is required for clients, aswell as working Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, i attend Forth Valley College on a Tuesday, this is where i gain my degree and knowledge.

I have a mentor in the work place and a mentor/business partner in the college so I always feel like I am taken care of, I would say this is a good example of my programme being structured well because if I ever have any problems whether it be the work place or college then I have 100% support.

My manager gives me a lot of support in the work place and with college, my manager likes to stay in the loop with my workload and college to make sure i have a healthy balance between the too. I have an annual review from my employer, this is where my progress is tracked in depth but majority of the time they check up on me.

Having a mentor/business partner in place at the college makes me feel more comfortable in knowing i have the most support i can receive, the lectures in the college are very supportive to aswell as the curriculum manager.

When in the work place it is very hands on and sometimes i feel i am in the deep end (in a good way) and in college it is more just everything i do explained in depth, my college training doesn't always tie in with my everyday work but it is somewhat relevant.

Yes

They are a great company to work for, they always fulfil my needs and resolve any issues i have had. The environment in the workplace is always great and friendly making the days better, TB+A care and show that they care about their employees, not to mention all the great benefits involved, one being that they pay for your gym membership.
