Doing overhead service changes, sometimes high voltage work like changing utility poles and other bits with the overhead electricity network
I've learnt how to be safe and work on the overhead and underground electricity network
It's been OK, but been a struggle trying to get through the coursework side of things as there isn't really much support
Not organised very well, the training courses are organised Ok but actually finding day to day work there is no structure it is just left up to us as apprentices
Not much all of it is left to apprentices to sort out themselves
People I work with are very helpful and are great teachers and the people on our training courses teach us how to do the job so it is good
It gives me a base understanding on how to do my job and then experience will help me get past any problems so it is good
Not organised by work but we organise our own things
No
Because it has been such a struggle getting my course work together and I haven't had any help, from day 1 I've had to sort everything out myself
Come on as an adult trainee and not an apprentice, your life will be so much better
