Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My role within British gas is to learn as much as I can from my academy mentors and mentors whilst out training on patch so that when I pass the gas qualification I am ready to become a fully independent gas engineer.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy the programme very much, although sometimes is stressful due to the amount of paperwork involved in the apprenticeship.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learn many new skills since starting the apprenticeship. As I was a plumber previously, I have also developed my heating fault finding and installation skills
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I feel the programme could be better structured. There is a timetable of the apprenticeship so I do know what is happening each week.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive lots of support from my British gas. The mentors in the academy do everything they can to help and my mentors on patch take time to explain things that I don't understand.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive Los of support from my training academy mentors.
