Advanced Nuclear Engineering Technician Review

So far, in the first few months of the apprenticeship, we are doing two college theory lessons each day. We are starting practical in April where we will do practical lessons each day.

I have developed many skills such as time handling and learning to be more independant in terms of research. We have not done an practical yet but once we start, I believe skills will be developed rapidly.

I enjoy my program a lot. I prefer practical work and I am already enjoying the theory side of things, which is surprising.

There have been a few inconveniences relating to organisation within the program but this is due to it being the first year of the course being in place.

Our employer provides us with lots of support. We are given multiple mentors for us to turn to if we are struggling with any work. We are also told that we can extend deadlines if we think its too early.

We are provided with lots of different support methods including people to reach out to, and places to research.

The training and qualification is crucial for the job role and the skills are essential if you are planning on moving into the job after the apprenticeship.

We must complete a STEM activity each year of our apprenticeship. This includes activities such as going into schools and hosting events. We can also engage in sports activities with the university that the employer is partnered with.

Rolls Royce prove to care about their employees which is great as it makes you feel 'looked after'. The pay is great and the opportunities provided by the company are very broad.

Prepare to be offered a different course to what you wanted; lots of people are competing with you to get into such a good company.
