5/5

On a day to day basis I aid mechanics and engineers on the maintenance of civil and defense aircraft. Ensuring that aircraft remain serviceable for safe flight and operations

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I have realy enjoyed my programme when it has come to the training that has been hands on, i have enjoyed taking courses that relate to developing as an maintenance engineer.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

I have learnt an abundance of new skills both on the shop floor using hand skills and engineering knowledge to read drawings, manuals, safety data sheets and other responsibilities, as well as skills within the office environment and large company ethics.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

3/5

I think the programme is very well organised for a nationwide apprenticeship, however I think due to expansion there could be a lack of concentration to the hands on skills aquired by apprentices

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

The support I receive from my employer is brilliant and consistent. the company support, peer support and manager level support is all very good.

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

3/5

the training provider offers enough support to complete the criteria necessary.

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

4/5

I think that my role can soly rely on the qualification provided by my training provider within initial stages of the career however i believe development is reliant on the effort of the individual whilst in the environment that the training provider has no say in.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

5/5

there are plenty of social activities within each placement when you actively try to become a memebr of a team
