Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Maintaining fixed wing and rotor aircraft.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

So far we have only been in college, 9 months in college studying for our exams and then 2 years OJT. College has been tough but rewarding and I'm looking forward to getting hands on with aircraft.

Developed on my existing hand skills in an aviation setting

5/5
College has been very well structured with a set 9 month program.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
We do receive support from our employer if we need it however they could be more proactive with continuous performance reviews.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Our training provider ALS doesn't get involved much in our studies, we don't get a lot of support from them and new systems put in place this year for recording training has been temperamental and difficult to use.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
Not sure
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
We socialize as a cohort but don't get involved with the wider company due to being only at college.
