Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My job role is an apprentice. I work from 8:00-16:00 from Monday to Friday. I work all different types of jobs, from schools to factories. I paint walls, ceilings, floors and woodwork. I learnt from the person I work with and have gained skills overtime.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my apprenticeship a lot, I work for a good firm and work with good people who teach me well. I get provided with PPE and clothing. And the office at my branch provides support in case I need it.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I’ve learned a lot of skills along the time of my apprenticeship. Rolling, cutting in, painting ceilings, walls and floors. And I’ve done wallpapering at college. I just need help with painting doors.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My apprenticeship is organised with equipment and paint is ready for us whenever we go on a new job.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I get excellent support from the office in my branch
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
It can differ, depending on who I work with and what job we are on. If we are on a job where we are very busy I don’t get much teaching but if it’s a job where the person has time to teach I get fully taught.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My qualification helps with showing that I know what I’m doing and that I have prior and current experience with painting and are able to show it when working on the job to my training provider.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
I haven’t had the knowledge of any extra-curricular activities at work. I haven’t been told about anything.
