Overview of Role

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

4/5

My role is an apprentice technician, this involves using CAD software's to design models with the required information about the building

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

Thoroughly

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Yes, I have learnt how to use many new software's for building design, I have also learnt a lot about construction and how buildings are constructed and the elements they contain

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

My programme has been very organised and set out from day one, an induction was given to give me starting guidance. If I am ever unsure what I need to be doing I can ask my mentor/ Line manager

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I receive the support I need from my employer, If I ever need any new softwares or hardwares I can request these through the system. If I am ever stuck I feel confident in talking to my manager

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

4/5

I get the support I need from my training officer. I can always email, phone him if I am ever stuck or confused and he will guide me in what I need to be doing . We have reviews every now and then to review my progress

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

5/5

What I am learning at college during my apprenticeship helps me massively. It helps to give sense to the building elements I am modelling and why things are in the places they are.

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

4/5

There are chats you can join which are focused to certain topics, e.g. DIY. There are also a sports and social committee which host events
