Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Initially we are gaining CAA qualifications alongside day release at UNI. After this we will be put onto 5-month placements until the end of our Apprenticeship.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
This has been intense but exciting at the same time and i can't wait to get into the workshop and start doing practical work.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Gained a lot of knowledge already through our fast paced CAA modules.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Well planned out apprenticeship with a clear plan for the first 9-months well laid out and scheduled.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Lots of extra support available both for personal difficulties and also for academic struggles.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Again lots of support given as we have small groups of students with good teachers who are willing to spend extra time with us if we are sure on anything.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Thorough explanations of the theory and relation to the practice use of this.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
Due to COVID we haven't had chance to get involved with any teams so am unsure what there is available to get into.
