I enjoy and appreciate it very much as I'm learning something new every day which I have been able to put into practice.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have learnt quite a lot already such as what issues affect a car and how to diagnose them. I originally came into this apprenticeship with no idea about anything and no experience so everything is new to me.

It has been structured really well as each day is different and the workload is spread out well.

So far it has helped me perform better in my role however I do feel like I know things through the garage side of work rather than college.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
I don't really think we do these kind of activities.
