Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My day to day role is to ensure the sustainability and integrity of components using various test methods, to identify flaws and defects within them. There is a lot of training involved from product technology to principles and processes, but also a lot of hands on training.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I thoroughly enjoy my current role, this has been a move I will look back on and be proud of, I only hope to develop further and progress into higher roles once I have gained relevant experience and knowledge.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt a variety of new skills as well as developing many from my previous career path. I feel I am able to excel and learn something new everyday with the support of my colleagues and learning provider.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I feel it has been organised and structured well, but I do see room for improvement to ensure training and development could happen at a faster rate. I understand workload takes a big part within training but I feel there could be areas that can be organised much better.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I recieve full 100% support from colleagues, line managers and from my apprenticeship development advisor. They have all been fantastic and couldn't ask to have met more impressive colleagues.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I recieve full 100% support from our learning provider, within my first year, I have had the opportunity to attend an award ceremony and met various members which was a pleasure. Any issues or questions I have, they are all supportive in answering and helping towards my development.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It has given me the confidence and drive to ensure I deliver my role to the very best of my ability and allows room for me to develop much further throughout my apprenticeship.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
I have seen there is an large amount that you can become involved in within the company which I know will help individuals grow and reach personal goals.
