Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To learn new skills and gain knowledge so that I can be a competent electrical engineer
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy my practical experience very much however tech cert days can be quite long and sometimes learn about things not relevant to me. I also don’t enjoy my tutorials and think it is a waste of time as no one learns anything and the time could be put to better use.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt a lot of theory knowledge about electrical components and I have also developed practical skills using tools and wiring up electrical components and creating cable enclosure systems

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is very well organised
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive support from my employer if I ask for it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive support when I am stuck and ask for help but sometimes they let me figure it out on my own so that I can improve .
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think some of the things we are doing won’t be used on board a ship and isn’t very applicable but does help me learn more about electrical systems
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Not in the first year of my apprenticeship that I am aware of
