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

I start my day by giving the workshop a tidy up and cleaning the floors with the floor cleaner. I then go to my mentor and assist him in the task he is doing. i will work with him most of the day unless another job has arised for me such as an mot wash or giving someone a lift to collect a vehicle.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

i am learning new skills everyday when my mentor teaches me different ways to do certain jobs and tells me what to work on and how to do it better. My existing skills are also improving all the time as i get quicker at jobs i do often while still being completed to the best standard possible.
