there are some aspects which are very organised and some areas that are not so organised. However this year the company has taken on almost 300 apprentices so this is to be expected.

support is great from training managers and line manager. Also experienced engineers often come in to help out which is brilliant

5/5
a good amount of support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I believe a lot will help, some modules in our qualification would not be needed but it is still good to learn.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
not that I am aware of, however as the electrical maintenance team are close we have socialised outside of work .
