Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Utilising mechanical principles, computer aided design and experience to create engineering drawings and designs and working in the workshop to further mechanical knowledge
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
As of the moment the programme has been enjoyable however, its management has been somewhat poor leaving parts disorganised which is a shame

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Hand skills, computer aided design and modelling skills have been improved however, I feel there are parts of the trade that could be explained more in particular the use of tools and equipment

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
Parts are structured well, notably the practical side in the workshop, but as previously mentioned parts are disjointed and disorganised this is highlighted in the current state of the btec
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Havent had the need to utilise my employee for support so far
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
The current state of the btec as previously mentioned leaves support in a very precarious position which makes working towards my qualifications somewhat worrying and in a state of unconfidence
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
The units as a whole would help me perform better in my role the management so far of the qualification is what sabotages it
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 really any time for
