Advanced Engineering Apprentice Review

Shadowing qualified technicians on a daily basis, learning the systems around the building and growing confidence to start to complete the work myself under supervision.

I have learnt a lot of people skills, as well as managing time and workload on a daily basic. i have also learnt how to plan work for the future, as some jobs can only be completed on a certain date.

I really enjoy the day-to-day work as it is a massive learning experience which is enjoyable.

The programme is very-well structured, and it helps you learn about all trades within engineering and all of the systems around the various buildings.

I receive a lot of support from my employer, as they question how my apprenticeship is going almost daily, and I have a fortnightly meeting to catch up with my line manager.

My training provider are very supportive of my BTEC and HNC qualification. They are very good at answering emails and queries I have about assignment work, and they are very supportive of your apprenticeship too.

The 1st year of my apprenticeship involves going to practical courses to learn the basics of engineering, and this helps indefinitely to my understanding of systems at work, so I can purely focus on the learning of the company and systems here.

There are lots of groups where you can socialise through work. We as a department have a few occasions a year where we socialise outside of work.

Yes

The apprenticeship scheme is fantastic.

Learn the company well and don't be scared to ask questions about the company (in an engineering context).
