I have learned loads of new skills, way to many to mention, and there making me a component engineer.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

I think the apprenticeship is structured very well. Spend the first year in college doing SVQ2 and NC then second/third year doing SVQ3 and HNC, while picking up experience on site.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

Individual support is there if needed, and other than that there is apprentice reviews every couple months and a monthly meeting. Although there is room to make this better.

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

5/5

Plenty of support is provided from Fife College.

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

5/5

Fife College is teaching us the basic in mechanical maintenance engineering. This provides us with enough skills to get on site and develop our skills through experience.

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

Not that I am aware off but there could we be.
