Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Day to day cleaning of the workshop, working with a technician to see different jobs and getting involved with learning how to complete tasks.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the programme, I don't particularly like the two weeks of online learning before one week in person. I think two weeks online is too much, one week would work better for myself.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
Learnt new personal skills, such as teamwork and confidence building and working skills such as hand tools and electrical components.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It's structured well with different blocks to learn and different modules. But there are lots of different websites to keep track of.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Received the best support, can't fault them. All issues were tackled promptly.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Receive support from training providers throughout the course. Support on offer is always run through with learners.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification helps me perform better as it gives me the knowledge I need to know to carry out my role independently.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
None through the company but people in the workshop are always setting up social activities. Only activity through the company is the Christmas event.
