For the first year we are in college in 5 days a week, with 3 of them being in the workshop and the other 2 being a tech cert day where we learn about our job and the other day being a day where we complete coursework. At the start of the year we learned various hand skills for 2 weeks to help us grasp what we would partake in over the course of the year. Then after we got straight into completing projects where as we went on, we learned how to use different machines, different tools etc. I am using tools and machines I’ve never used before and never heard of previously!
Yes definitely, I’ve learnt new skills and am still learning!
It’s hard work at times, but I really enjoy being part of a team and working alongside others. I also know there are many opportunities available to me.
It taken a little while, but it’s structured now after around 3 months. For the first 3 months we didn’t have a tutor for the classroom section and as a result myself and others are behind with that side of things.
I feel that my employer is supportive. We don’t have much to do with them in the first year as we are at college, but I feel if we needed support with anything they would be there.
I feel we get good support from training provider, other than as previously mentioned the lack of classroom tutor in the first 3 months.
It will help me learn my job and give me more knowledge. I couldn’t do my job without working towards the qualification.
Yes, there are different things available.
Yes
A good company to get an apprenticeship with and if you do well you can have a really good career with lots of prospects.
Do well in your GCSEs, research Babcock, apply early and work hard.
