i think my apprentiship is well organised although i think skills tests more often in the workshop would be more beneficial so we can see where we need help or anything extra we need to learn.

they taught me the basic skills of engineering but unfortunately had no pipe fitter to teach me basics about my trade before being moved to work and i think work has really helped me gain alot of these skills
