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

I am a BIM technician so my day to day jobs include modelling on Revit and carrying out engineers markups for projects.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my every day jobs but I am under challenged at college.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt a lot about Revit and how to use modelling software.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme is fairly well organised and there is a lot of support for EPA. However, the next steps linking this apprenticeship to the next are poorly organised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?

My employer is very supportive and makes sure I have enough time to complete my training.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

A fair bit.

2/5
A lot of the content in the qualification is irrelevant to my my work, particularly surveying and site engineering.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are a lot of social events at work.
