Overview of Role

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

5/5

I run the CNC machines. This means I program the machine then load the material in and machine the component. Then I would be stopping the machine along the way to check measurements.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I think it’s good and you learn a lot but not rushed to learn it. It gives you time to learn all you need before you are employed in your roll

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Yeah I’ve learnt how to program and run CNC machines. And use CAD and CAM systems. And been on training courses. I’ve also been trained on use of overhead cranes.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

I think it’s good as college one day a week then in work for the other 4 days so you get to learn what to do and how to do things safely. While being paid

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

You get lots of support and there’s plenty of people to talk to if you needs and any issues with work or the course or home can be made confidentialy

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

5/5

Lots of support with tasks being regularly set online and reminders of deadlines for tasks

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

5/5

I think it’s helps as teaches you how to do your job safely and you get a better understanding of what actually goes on when you do certain operations.
