Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Given tasks to complete to expected standards. Taught techniques and methods of materials, tools and equipment we use.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the challenges and learning everyday, there's always something new to do so you don't get bored easily.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Learn something new after every new task completion. There is endless ways to learn, to better improve your knowledge and grow further. Thus apprenticeship is great for learning new skills.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
You are have assessors to hep with your learning, points of contact for assistance in everything you may need, you know where to go for everything.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Endless, any learning difficulties, areas of struggle or if you're having a bad day, they have a support system for every need you have, excellent support system.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Good basic learning and teaching when working towards qualifications.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me get to grip basic knowledge of areas I need to know to help me better perform. earning maths outside of the wrokshop allows me to progress quicker as learning two things at once.
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
There are some social activities I've seen, but I am not aware of most of them. Lots of professional networking events.
