On site involves maintanence of various equipment. Training is a mix of theory and practical learning and assesments.
Have learnt various skills which will be useful in my job once i have completed the apprentice ship most of which are new i.e. LV wiring, manual handling etc.
Good progamme, the practical side of things is th emost enjoyable part
Good company to work for however as an apprentice you can see how varying divisions of the company are treated when compared to others which is a bit of a morale killer.
Most of the course is well organised however theory side could be better structured. There are long gaps between learning the thery and taking the exams which can make it somewhat more difficult.
Varying support depending on courses howvere i belive this is more based on the trainers. ALo of support in some courses and less in in others.
Good support from employers. Financially most things are covered so that one less thing to worry about and a weight of your shoulders.
Very good especially when compared to other apprenticeships. London weighting is a big help for those that live there especially with the rising living costs in london.
Alot of opurtunities to do thins outside of work and alot of things available to those who want to.
Yes
Good company to work for, alot of benefits and opputunities. However I would let anyone who i recommended it to know that the traing side had a very school like feel to it in terms of the way you are treated/poken to.
Reasearch the company and learn the basics of the area of work you are trying to get into.
