When on-site perform daily tasks on repairing and maintaining components brought in from different areas around site. Fault finding of components brought in and re-assembly of these components.

I enjoy the apprenticeship programme as I get to learn new skills everyday and every job I do is different.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is structured well as there is a balance between college and working on-site so all work is not crammed together.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
If I am struggling with anything my employers can help me with whatever I am struggling if that is work or different matters. They are always there to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
There is a substantial amount of support from my training provider when in college on completing tasks and assessments that needed to be carried out for the qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Doing my qualification helps me gain knowledge and skills that I might not learn on-site so this enhances my work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
