Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

Finding faults in the electrical aspects of prototype and series vehicles, performing level 0 analysis and raising tickets to BMW to request a fix.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

4/5

I enjoy my work most of the time. At times it can be stressful or a lot of work.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Yes, developed skills working on, in and around motor cars. Developed an appreciation for engineering processes.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

Very well structured thanks to my department manager.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I receive enough support to keep on top of everything

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

1/5

The training provider lacks some organisation which can become a challenge when working towards qualifications. The standard of teaching and feedback often falls short of expectations.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

2/5

My qualification will be helpful, providing the university are capable of teaching it to a good enough standard.

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

We have a football and a basketball team. We also have a strava club. Work brings in influential people to talk to colleagues about their experiences and give advice.
