Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
A range of systems engineering tasks, MBSE and document analysis.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I do enjoy it, the work changes every 6 months so always something new. Some of the work is not as engaging as other bits.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
yes, i am far more proficient in general systems engineering practices and company standards. I have developed my model based systems engineering skills too.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The programme is okay, the overall structure is suitable in terms of work and placement is good and the education is split up well. The information gathering for the end point assessment is not as clear as it could be.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
lots, we have a lot of contact with our apprentice leads and our feedback is quickly worked on.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
we have one lecturer who is not suitable for the workload to progress us to our qualification so there is a good amount of learning that is done by ourselves.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
In our third and fourth years, we cover more complex electrical systems topics. these will help with my work a lot. currently, the project management topics are the most beneficial.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
i am part of the social committee for my site and host a sports social weekly.
