The college has had issues with classes not being covered in our second year, this feedback has been given to the college however the work to correct the issue has been too little too late.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

The qualification is a mechanical and electrical maintenance and operations which coinside with what we do at work and helps with understanding further how the equipment works.

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

Every 6 months there is a aviation karting competition that I take part in with work and is always good fun, occasionally during the summer and towards Christmas there is a work social night out that is always a good laugh too
