Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My apprenticeship has just advanced to the next stage which is learning the work I will be required to do by my employer. Prior to this from September to April I was in college full time learning basic domestic level 2 electrical work.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
As I moved forward to the next phase of my apprenticeship i have been enjoying it much more than my time in college. I loved both aspects of the work I was learning but my current environment is much better.

Sometimes the support from college was not what I initially expected and a lot of it seemed rushed.
