Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Begin to create an understanding on how trials and commissioning works, learning about all the different systems on our work site and how they are tested, repaired if there are any issues, and how to set them to work before handing over to the customer
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
It was a bit slow to start, which is understandable as we are only the second year that trials and commissioning have had apprentices, but as we got into the start of tyhis year things started to pick up a bit and got more enjoyable.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Have advanced my IT skills on how to use the online systems that we use in work, further developed my practical skills with hands on experience. Learned to understand the drawings and schematics that our workplace uses
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
We have been given most of the tools and equipment we need to complete our job although it took some time to get other things in, which is understandable as there was not much practical work to be done when we first started but when there was some we had to use the engineers tools to do any work.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
BAE have been very helpful throughout the apprenticeship, especially those that we work with on site. The guys in the office have all been very helpful in aiding my learning and if I had any questions they always were there to help me out.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The support from the college has been great in the way that the lecturers are brilliant and teach very well, but with all the strikes that have been taking place our learning has been interrupted repeatedly, not enough that we have fell behind. But if it continues in the future when we are doing harder qualifications then it might become a difficulty.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The PEO that we are doing has helped to me expand on my knowledge on some of the more basic systems that we will be working with, as well as completing the knowledge questions has helped me to understand what health and safety procedure's there are and what hazards to look out for when im on site or in any workplace.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are team night outs that sometimes occur on special occasions
