Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
2/5
First year was in college doing coursework and working on our hand skills. The other 3.5 years were in the factory building wings and writing up our jobs along side college coursework.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Been a love/hate type of thing.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The structure is decent but overall the organisation has much room for improvement.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Is very based depending on who you have supervising you. But you can always find help. It’s just difficult at times.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Again very based and dependant on who you have. But you can always find help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The hand skills of my qualification is very useful but leaning subject such as creating a project are pointless in my opinion.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Yeah there are many sporting activities through Gen A team. Including walks runs football etc.
