Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
I am an apprentice technician and I work on vehicles with my mentor and other techs, sometimes I watch him, he watches me, we both do it or I work independently. I also keep the bay clean and organised, I also give myself time at the end of the day to do some online training.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I have thoroughly enjoyed the apprentice programme I am on. My fellow colleagues at work and the training academy have been a genuine pleasure working with and I always look forward to going on the training courses. I also like the vehicles I get the opportunity to work on.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
I have learnt a vast amount of new skills to do with working on JLR vehicles or just mechanics in general. I have also learned about the function and names of various car parts and tools.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I think that the apprentice is very organised. All the assessments and training academy times are well structured.

5/5
I always recieve support from my employer and coworkers when I need it and whatever they do or say always helps me when I get stuck with something.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
From the small training academy time I've had so far, the people there have been very supportive and helpful when myself or the other apprentices have been working. The accessor that comes to my work is also very helpful.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I feel that my qualification definitely helps me perform better in my job 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.)
1/5
I'm not sure.
