Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The programme could be structured better in terms of the transition between plant and college, The college is also not very well structured and there is often lessons with no teachers
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I have not received support outside of my placements in my placements i feel supported. Then outside my placements there is less support but i have not felt the need for support so if needed im sure it will be given
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
The college lacks a lot of support with teachers not being involved in the lesson and left to your own to complete any assignments with little teaching occurring during a lesson.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think the qualification helps me a lot with PLC and understanding electronic circuits and the calculations around the circuit and especially in control maths with PID that helps a lot in my role.
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
There is a football group that i play in on Wednesdays but it is planned by employees and not through work, There is a charity team ,newsletter team and others to get involved in
