8.4/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

The first 9 months of the apprentiship is spent down at HMS Sultan in Gosport leaning electrical principles, maths, fault finding and several other subjects to help you progress when you start on the railway. Following this nine months each apprentice goes to their respective depots for a number of placements. I'm a signalling apprentice and have been working with the maintenance and faulting teams for the best part of a year.
