Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Doing project work for a variety of projects.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I think I would have preferred a more traditional apprenticeship where the university portion wasn't full time. But overall a positive experience.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Went from nearly 0 understanding of electronics and RF theory to having a degree. Learned independence from university experience.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
Again I think I would have preferred a different structure but the overall structure was well organised.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Whenever I needed it I was given the support I needed.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The university seemed at times unsure how to handle us apprentices.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I would not understand large portions of my role without the training.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
