Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Currently I am gaining hands on experience doing CAT A qualifications before I go on to work in placements. I am currently working from home and am given online delivery.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my knowledge of aircraft and my ability to fix aircraft including all of the skills involved in aircraft maintenance. When on placement I will be able to gain skills working in teams.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
We have a lot of skills coaches and lots of infrastructure in place to make sure we always have something to do
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
There are various ways of getting support and ways of talking to people if I were to experience any issues. There is even a BAE apprentice instagram
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Gaining hands on experience prior to actually going into the role is hugely beneficial compared to going to university where the work is mainly theoretical. Also having your salary linked to your performance is sure to make you work harder at things you arent so good at
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
Currently difficult due to the COVID19 situation
