At college we were provided with lots of help from specific memebers of staff. some members went above and beyond to help get us though the course and provide us with the best opportunites as possible. outside of college our assesor is also great and he has good communication with me.

I feel as though the qualifications provided to me help in some term of y role, however some not so much. in the long run i understand why we do these courses and what benifits they prove to us. such as helping us understand the workings of 3 phase motors. in other cases it c an help us understand the saftey risks that as presented to us in the working enviroment, such as hydrallics.
