I weld our fabricated flooring panels.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5
I have got good experience through my apprenticeship.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5
I knew a lot of theory before I started but didn't have much hands on knowledge. Now working in the factory every day means I have practical experience.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5
It's obvious what I need to do each day .

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5
Everyone helps a lot if I need it. My mentor taught me the basics of welding and I couldn't have done the more complex stuff without her support at the start.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5
My college mentor comes to site often and supports us with our online work. If I'm struggling I can ring him even on days we don't have a meeting.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5
Gives you an understanding of welding skills and why you need to do certain things.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
