Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I have developed a strong interest in the gas industry and am eager to begin a hands-on career through an apprenticeship. I have some practical experience with basic plumbing and pipework, including working with hand tools, reading measurements, and following safety procedures. I have also shadowed a qualified gas engineer, which gave me insight into fault-finding, boiler servicing, and customer interaction.
In previous roles (or during school/college), I’ve demonstrated strong teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills. I am reliable, punctual, and always willing to learn. I understand the importance of health and safety in this industry and am prepared to follow all protocols and standards.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my programme because it combines both theory and practical work, which suits my learning style. I especially enjoy the hands-on parts, like working with tools and learning how different systems operate. The course has helped me build a strong foundation in areas like health and safety, pipework, and system maintenance, which has made me even more confident that I want to pursue a career in the gas industry. I also appreciate the support from tutors and the opportunity to work alongside others who are just as interested in the trade.

that my qualification is helping me perform better by giving me both the knowledge and confidence I need in the workplace.

Overall, the training is building a solid foundation that’s preparing me for the responsibilities of a role in the gas industry.
