Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Producing and reviewing supplier AR&M and Supportability case reports.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy being part of a team and feeling productive
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have gained more confidence, engineering knowledge and developed a skillset with toolsets such as ReliaSoft
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The programme was impacted badly due to covid. The framework is changing after my apprenticeship finishes, away from NVQ. I feel as though development with the course has been neglected due to this.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
I have numerous support contacts. However I believe that my skills coach is stretched thin due to the number of apprentices he has
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a lot of support such as additional leave from work to conduct HNC and Degree
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I believe that although my qualification is good to get into a role, it doesn't actually really help me with the job role itself.
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
We play football and have had days out doing activities such as paintballing
