Class1 driver Review

In this role you learn about delivering stock to store, how to load unload trailers safely,efficiently and evenly. You learn about Pre trip checks, and how important it is to be safe and legal. You also learn about hitching and unhitching trailers. Learning roads and routes and about driver hours

On this apprenticeship I have learnt how to load trailers, about trailer safety, and how to drop and pick up trailers in a safe manner. Also I have gained a Class 2 licence, a driver qualification. As part of the course I've also gained qualifications in English and Maths

Every days a learning day, it can be exciting, from not knowing you destination, to learning how to cope and deal with the unexpected. It can be stressful and yet very enjoyable. It has been frustrating at times because of Covid as test centres have been closed making it hard to get licences

The apprenticeship seems well structured and very supportive, every member of staff I've interacted with has been very friendly and very helpful. I've learnt that there's no such thing as a stupid question. There is a lot of communication between the different departments involved in this program

I can not fault my employers, in every situation I know that they are always there to answer any questions I may have. They are also very understanding , good at supplying any equipment and training that you could possibly need. They also very good with helping to get a good work/ life balance.

They are always there to answer any questions, offer any support that may be needed, they are very patient always willing to explain things even if they have already explained things before, I don't normally cope well with the classroom settings as I become frustrated easily, however I haven't felt like this on this course

It is a whole new job role for me, so I feel all the training has helped me to learn, what I need to become I great driver, knowing that I can always ask for help. The training helps in understanding rules, regulations and laws

Not that I'm aware off

Yes

They are really supportive and pay well

Work hard, be reliable. Enjoy yourself l
