Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am an apprentice and my main role currently is reading fire strategies and understanding British Standards
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Because engineering involves a lot of math I don't really enjoy the math aspect but the fire safety aspect is interesting
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have an easier understanding of fire safety
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
The university doesn't really cater to the apprentices so a lot of my uni apprentices are left in the dark
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
With my first line manager I was receiving a lot of support and it was nice but I have a new line manager and I'm left on my own a little bit now
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive a bit of support but now as I've been in the apprenticeship for a bit I'm receiving a little less support
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I am able to understand engineering and fire safety and I am a bit better in speaking about 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
We have charity days and social work events for different holidays
