Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
There isn't too much work to do all the time, so I am relatively stress free. Some days we will have lots to do and others not so much.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I mostly enjoy the work and learning that I have been doing and I get on with all of my colleagues and instructors

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have both learned new skills and developed my existing skills

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
There are gaps in which there isn't a lot of work to do. I'm not always sure what we are going to be doing next in terms of a schedule
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I know where to go for support if I need it and I believe that it is accessible to me.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I get all of the help that I ask for
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel like some of the modules that I've completed so far aren't particularly relevant to my role, such as bench fitting, but most of them are relevant.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
I'm not aware of any extra-curricular activities. A think that a football team would be appreciated by lots of people
