Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am automotive service technician and my day to day work is doing everything a normal service tech would do but after every job I do I need to checked. Another job I do in the garage is cleaning and stock sorting.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy my program for the reason being I get to meet new people, work on cars and getting the opportunity to help customers out with their car troubles

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes I have developed a lot of different skills from this job and I have also learned different techniques on how to do multiple job while also being able to work with colleagues

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I think it is organised in a very good way and it’s also very clear on what I need to learn and to do so I can progress to the next stage
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I get a good amount of support in terms of work and just generally wellbeing which I really appreciate
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I get enough support so I know what to do and where I can find the answers to any possible questions and problems that might come my way.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
Yes I think it does as it shows me all the things I need to know when doing my job and what I might need to do so I can reach the best of my abilities when doing jobs around the garage
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
No I do not believe so apart from days where to need to go to other centres for a event about things on my apprenticeship
