Light vehicle technician Review

I am a apprentice at trustford and carry out jobs with my mentor as day to day we carry out services and and sometimes problem solving on the vehicle's I also help others when needed to make there job easier and complete other tasks my manager sets me i

Yes before working in the workshop I knew nothing about fixing cars but over the time I have developed skills in the workplace about anything from fixing to knowing where to look to find leaks or anything broken in the vehicle now I can work faster and more confident knowing i can complete the job.

I enjoy my program alot as i like developing new skills in the workshop and finding new friends in the workplace as I enjoy the hands on aspect of the job and I am satisfied when I completed a job as I like this program as as I like the idea of working as a team in the workshop

Very organized as we can learn the basics at the start in the workshop getting a hands on feel with the vehicle then later on going to college to learn the more tricky aspect of the mechanical job where we meet trained tutors where we can understand more on the vehicle's

We receive alot of support from the employer as I felt more comfortable fitting into the workplace when I first joined as this makes me fit in and can start learning quicker as they still help me develop later and set times to go to college getting there and back

We receive alot of support from our training provider when working towards my qualifications as they come down and visit and see how we are doing in the workplace and how we can improve by setting up dates to go to college so we can expand my knowledge on cars

I feel alot more confident with the qualification to perform better in my role as when we are at college I am getting a better understanding of the role that I perform in the workplace as this qualification makes me more confident to carry out a task or job on site

Yes sometimes we would arrange to go down and play some team building games as football is sometimes arranged after a long day at work we play football as a team that is very enjoyable working as a team and lsts some stress of everyone is a very happy i

Yes

Trust ford is a very good company and I am happy where I am and I would recommend this to a friend as I am treated well and i am enjoying what i do and i think anyone of my friends would also enjoy this experience as it makes me happy

Make sure they have found the right job role in trust ford and get a understanding of what there job role is about so they know what they will be doing and also ask lots of questions to get a better understanding of the job as it is good fun
