Measurement Apprentice - Interior Trim Centre Review

I work within the project quality department, my day to day work is to ensure that parts we make for the new products are built within specification using a range of equipment including laser gauges.

I have learned many new skills during my time in this team, gaining an understanding of the principles of dimensional analysis and problem solving within the context of our parts and production methods.

My work within my team is well structured and enjoyable. My placement programme outside of the team is less organised and i have not had many opportunities to work with other teams.

The support from my employer depends on what it is that i need support with. There have been several issues with the learning provider that remain unresolved (this sits with the apprentice advisors), things within the company I am fully supported by my line manager.

The delivery of content from the College has been poor in my opinion and this is echoed by the rest of the class. There has been very little content delivered and work that has been marked, has been marked inconsistently resulting in some confusing gradings. As of yet, the learning provider is yet to create any improvements which have resulted in a positive outcome in the class.

The qualification we are studying for has the potential to be incredibly beneficial for what I do day to day, however the poor delivery of content hinders this somewhat.

My team at work are very socially active and make an effort to involve me in everything they do. This includes team meals, visits to a local coffee roaster and walks.

i would recommend Rolls-Royce Motor Cars as an employer for normal work, i'm not sure i would recommend them as a provider for the apprenticeship i am currently on though i think a lot of the problems are regarding my course and the degree level apprenticeships seem to run far smoother.

Yes

My friends are at the level where they would be applying for a higher level job here, not an apprenticeship.

Don't be afraid of hard work, it is always recognised at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
