Overview of Role

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

4/5

I am and electrical/electronic apprentice which means that I am being rotated around job role's in related fields while going a HNC in general engineering one day a week.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

It is nice to be incorporated into the work place in various areas across the business.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have been able to improve my skills in regards to wiring and hand tools. I have also been able to use emerging technology's such as FPGA's.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

2/5

there have been some difficulty's surrounding the organisation of placements and the switch to entirely online learning. the communication regarding what is happening hasn't been very effective but there is still an attempt.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

there is plenty of support from the employer especially since the training is entirely in house. there is never a time when it I impossible to receive some help or clarification in regards to a given task.

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

2/5

since the training providers are based in a very distant location the only method of communication is via email or skype combined with there heavy workload it can make it difficult to get support from lecturers outside of the set hour of tutor time each week.

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

2/5

since the training is a HNC in general engineering most of the training is not related to the role that I am performing and it won't be until the electronics unit in year 2.
