Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work on a variety of vechicles, all different makes and models and it would consist of all sorts of jobs such as: services, tyre repairs, trackings, clutches, alternators. It also involves me watching the other techs so I can get a greater view of how things are done properly
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Yes I’ve unlocked far more knowledge than I would have done if I would have stayed at college in such a small period of time
