over the past six months ive learned alot for example tarmacking ( 6ml, 10ml, 20ml base), ive learned how to curb on drive ways and accesses ( edgers, 6*5, 10*5, radius curbs), ive learned how too lay iron work for example ( gulley lids, man hole lids, water box lids, stop tap lids). and its all helped me so far on jobs weve done in the past and future jobs.

my training provider always thoroughly goes through tasks that have been set on the theory side of the course and also on the practical side of the course which helps me out alot.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

it always helps me to have that extra bit of information for example when i go back to site and there's something weve done similar at college and ive been showed the correct way it helps me over come little problems i can therefore solve
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
