HVDC Apprentice Review

So far my apprenticeship has involved induction into the business and becoming familiar with the different sites where I will be spending the majority of my time. Also I have started to be enrolled on different training courses which will help build my knowledge and familiarity with national grid guidelines, rules and expectations.

Yes, hand skills with Wayne Vickers has been really good and has really helped improved my skills within the workshop.

So far, the experience has been great with the accommodation being paid for it takes a lot of monetary stresses off of me.

At the moment with national grid putting a lot of investment into all types of training activities is feel very valued also with regards to them covering costs also is great. Also, the care taken by the team at the training Centre is great especially with regards to illness they take great care.

So far the programme is the first type of this apprenticeship so a lot of the staff are still learning about this programme as are we as apprentices.

Currently I receive lots of support from my training provider.

At the moment the salary is good however, when we have to relocate within our first year of our apprenticeship I think that it will be a struggle.

There are a number of activities to do on the evenings at the training centre.

Yes

So far the salary is competitive and they invest a lot of time money and care into all apprenticeships.
