Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working within an engineering environment. On the job training for the building and development of Aircraft.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
An incredible amount. The support is excellent and even though I am the oldest apprentice they have ever had, I feel welcomed and included by everyone.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes. Heat treatment, fitting, CAD, CFC.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well. I have no complaints so far.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Enough
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
An adequate amount. The college part of the programme is the only weak link but that is down to the choice of tutors rather than the content.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It's too early to tell.
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
I believe so but I have a family so all of my spare time is spent with them.
