Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Sub Marine electrician apprentice.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
The course has been enjoyable so far when we’ve had tutors. The interactions with the business have kept our interest. I expect the transition into the business to be enjoyable
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
Not as of yet as we’re only in college. In a couple of months though we’ll start learning skills that are specific to our job.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The course is structured. Unfortunately the college is possible the worst college experience I’ve seen/heard about. When/if we have tutors they’re knowledgable and engaging but they’re spread so thin by upper management the students don’t receive the service/teaching. I think there’s more managers than actual teachers. The college lets the whole apprenticeship down.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
They’re always on hand to offer support and through the canvas app
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
Very little
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
We won’t receive a formal qualification
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Not to my knowledge.
