Overview of Role

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

4/5

I am a maintenance apprentice, I apply myself in different engineering activities and use my knowledge and skills to try and understand issues in the production line.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

3/5

I do enjoy the programme here, the support side of things has been a massive help. If I have any issues there are many people to talk to. Overall I do enjoy working here at BMW Group

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

Yes I have developed new skills and existing skills such as hand fitting, working with new tools, and also the electrical side of things has been a new thing for me and I am currently trying to develop more knowledge on this topic.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

It is very organised with each yeah of the apprenticeship being different such as first year being able to develop new skills and second year out in the business lastly with third year being put in my final placement.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

4/5

I receive a lot of support from my employer. Including supporting time off if needed in case of emergency, also if I have any troubles I can come and talk to them whenever.

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

1/5

The support from the training provider was poor in my opinion, there has been very little help. The changing of tutors has been tough on the whole year also.

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

3/5

I feel like the assignment side of things doesn’t help at all however the structured first year helps massively such as the hand fitting and electrical placements.
