Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
testing different metals/welds to inspect to ensure no cracks are present
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy the practical work and how it is used, as well as working with some good people

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have learnt a lot of skills in this job role, including challenging myself with different tasks

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
At first it was not very well organised, then it became more organised throughout the first year
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I feel you don't feel like you receive much support until you ask for it, so maybe more support on apprentices without asking would help out massively.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
The training providers are very helpful and will help you with anything you ask.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It gives me extra learning to embed into my head which I can use towards work.
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
I am not too sure, I believe there is a workplace gym.
