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

    • Training in our first year starts at 8am by then we should be sat and ready to start all lessons. Currently we are studying PLC's and the experience has been amazing since I am a mature student I have touched on PLC's but was not confident enough until I came onto the apprenticeship program..
