Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My roll and what I do on a day to day basis is take apart an Adour engine, inspect all the different modules and components and decided which are serviceable and unserviceable, then I put the engine back together. I have to do this following a disc from Rolls-Royce.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy the programme I’m on as it is a great opportunity and I get new opportunities, it also allows me to improve my skills.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed communication and team working skills as I am required to do both regularly, I have also learnt how to use different tools that I didn’t previously use.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme I’m on is very well organised and structured, I knew where I would go within the apprenticeship and how long I’d be in different areas for, I am also aware of future courses and learning opportunities I’ll be participating in for many months ahead.

The training provider gives a lot of support, and offers a lot of help.

I think the qualification through the training provider helps quite a lot, as there is a lot of crossover in what I do for my qualification and what I do in my role at work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are different opportunities and activities at work such as a music/band activity.
