  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I'm a 1st year mechanic apprentice. This means on a daily basis I help my mentor carry out multiple tasks including services or changing brakes etc. But also as an apprentice I have to help to tidy up every now and again to ensure the workshop is clean and tidy

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I thoroughly enjoy the program as instead of learning stuff at college 1 day a week I go to college for 1 week every 2 months where we will focus on a specific topic and ensure we all have a good understanding. I also enjoy being at work as its a good crack but we still get on with the job at hand.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My programme is very organised. At the start of the programme I was given a sheet with my college dates and my work always ensures I have transport to and from the hotel/college also every three months the company gets someone to come out and make sure there is no problems.
