Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

I do a lot Grinding, Burning and gouging on a day to day basis. I work in quite a physical environment and enjoy it due to me being quite active.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

So far I have no issues with my apprenticeship and love working with my colleagues. The training has all gone at my own pace and I haven't been rushed into anything.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have learnt how to use grinders, burners, gougers and most other general tools. This has all helped me with my day to day life as well as at work.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

It has all been very organised so far and come together in order very well.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

I feel very comfortable speaking to my employer about any issues/situations I have. They are extremely supportive about anything I go to them about.

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

3/5

Training support has been pretty good, I do feel like I struggle quite a lot with certain things but they are ready to help whenever needed.

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

5/5

Everything that I am training towards is exactly what I will be doing when out of my time. Therefore I feel so far they have done a perfect job with the real world 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.)

4/5

I personally do not do any extra activities, although I am sure there are social teams and such like a apprentice council and such.

Why?

I feel that the diversity within BAE is so large that it is something you cannot miss out on. There is something for everyone and the people and environment is incredible.
