Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I currently am studying the relevant qualifications needed for me to complete me A-License course to work on aircraft for BAE Systems, right now I am getting involved in hands on practice to further my hand skills before gaining said qualification. Which I am very much enjoying to say the least
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I am thoroughly enjoying absolutely everything about this apprenticeship, the staff are amazing and supportive along with all of my work colleagues. I also believe in everything BAE Systems stands for
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I am furthering hand skills given to me through previous work placements
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
There have been times where things get set off track in regards to the programme however it is nothing that the company can be to blame for and they bounce back very well from unforeseen circumstances.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
*The reason i have given an 8 is due to the fact that personally i haven't required support as such my self, however i know other colleagues have received it and have come away with gleaming thoughts. How ever it is always made plain by supporting members of staff that if needed we can always approach them for any issue.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The training received from tutors is next to none inside this building
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
From only having started this qualification a few months ago it is hard to say that the qualification its self is helping me perform better but i am constantly learning new ways of improving my hands on skills inside the workshop
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
This is something i cannot comment on as i am unsure to what extent there is on offer, however due to the current living circumstances through the business, i am able to access the gym here free of charge which is a huge bonus
