Overview of Role

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

5/5

My day to day work involves following the priority list that is given out on a daily basis which involves replacing actuators and pipework from the flanges. I also have routine jobs to complete that involve pressure testing vessels and mini tanks.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I really enjoy the mix of college and work. I also enjoy the multitude of aspects of work involved in my job.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have developed lots of new skills and knowledge including all of the life skills in life and the basic knowledge for the role that I will aspire to be in.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

It is very well organised now that we are in the correct college.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I receive lots of support from monthly meetings with my line manager and college tutors and NVQ assessors.

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

4/5

I receive lots of support from the tutors, assessors and even colleagues at college.

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

3/5

I think it helps in a few tasks where problem solving and prior knowledge is needed to overcome a problem.

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

There’s lots of extra curricular activities. I even represented Syngenta in a careers event which allowed to gain more knowledge about my own company and my own apprenticeship.
