Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
It can come in many forms of Jobs from modification and repair of equipment. Using specialty equipment for many of these jobs can be involved. But everyday can be a new and different task
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Overall the program has been very good but the educational institute requires some improvement

5/5
The usage and operation of many specialty tools and equipment, alongside applicable mathematics skills and graphical design skills
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
On site it is very well structured and there is always something new to learn, but the college work has either felt rushed or too slack

5/5
If i have ever had a problem they have always been available to help
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
NVQ support has been incredible and I cannot fault the trainer with all the assistance and visits they have provided to ensure we have work complete. BTEC has had its ups and downs I also cannot fault Maitham for his continued support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Overall I have never gone into a task in my role worried about my understanding of the task and if I did not know anything there was always help at hand.
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
I am currently in a Apprentice Newsletter team that has had good networking opportunities but outside this its very fair to see other apprentices
