Machinist Review

Spend a balanced time working within the workshop on machinery and also on bench fitting. Alongside this, we do a lot of written work, mainly researching assignments

I have learnt new skills in the workshop on machinery, which I have found to be very fun as I love doing practical work.

I enjoy my apprenticeship a lot, mainly the time in workshop. The written work can be challenging, but I know it’s worth it and it is very interesting.

It is fairly structure, just can be difficult to get your head around.

I receive a lot of support from my employer, there is plenty of help if needed and regular progress reviews.

I receive lots of support when working towards qualifications, if I need help at all or find anything challenging, then I can ask and will get help.

Very well, I feel that the qualification provides a groundwork for my knowledge and skills when working within the workshop and on assignments. The qualification enables me to work better and provides the exact knowledge and skills I need.

There are opportunities to join the apprentice council and become a STEM ambassador if you want to take part in extra-curricular activities.

Yes

It is an amazing opportunity to work for such a well rounded, top of the field business and would be a mistake not to go for.

Make sure it is something you want to do and be confident in your own ability.
